One Lethal Allergy Too Many

Summary

My boyfriend's childhood best friend found out I was severely allergic to cilantro, so she secretly poured cilantro extract into every single dish at the dinner party.

Almost immediately after taking a bite, a fiery rash exploded across my skin.

Panic setting in, I shoved my hand into my pocket, pulled out my small pillbox, and threw a tablet into my mouth.

But a second later, the blood drained from my face.

The antihistamine—my lifeline—had been swapped out for a strawberry gummy.

Seeing my face swell and turn a mottled red, my boyfriend's best friend erupted into laughter.
