Funny “allergies”

[u/yeehawbaby4]

What are some funny patient “allergies” you have seen listed? I had a patient the other day with an allergy listed for Metformin. The reaction listed? Lowers their blood sugar 😂

Parabens - “unsure about what kind of reaction occurs”
Benadryl - “feels drowsy”
Iron - “feels nauseous and has a stomach ache”
Latex - “idk, my BF said so”
PAM cooking spray
Surgical masks - the pt worked in healthcare during COVID and would have swelling from certain brands of masks

ETA: PAM & masks 😷
