frothing at the mouth over the sheer number of undeclared allergens in both prescription and otc meds

we are at a fucking 12/10
"Worryingly, they discovered that 93 percent of medications contain allergens, including lactose, dyes, and peanut oil. Almost all medicines contain ingredients that some people might not be able to tolerate, such as gluten."
and medications have none of the same requirements to label allergens as foods, and supplements don't even need to be truthful about their content. im currently having to go through and throw out/replace my medications bc I recently had an allergy escalate to "potentially deadly" and am now finding that process was helped by the fucking thing being hidden in half my fucking medications
so yeah for anyone with moderate to severe allergies, check ALL the meds you take, especially if you're reacting and don't know why.
this is one of those "reblog to actually save a life" things i think
