Ok! Prompt! Flambae protective rage and anger at Robert being given something by a jealous Dispatcher and having an allergic reaction to it

Staring at the wheezing form of their dispatcher on the med bay bed makes something burn inside Flambae that is very different from his usual fire and flame. It's more concentrated, pointed. Targeted.

Robert's face, arms, and torso are all covered in hives that stand raised from his skin, ugly and disturbing. His eyes are less swollen now that he's been given a cocktail of antihistamines and meds to reduce the allergic reaction, breathing a little clearer.

Flambae's hands that normally would be engulfed in a blaze are white-hot, slowly melting the metal windowframe under his grip. The nurses and doctors have all backed up, but Prism has her hand on his shoulder and pulls him back, shaking her head and jerking it to the side. He leaves the poor windowframe alone, but doesn't step more than a few paces away from the observation room, determined to keep Robert in his sights.

"He's been taken into custody. The charges are solid, there's video evidence of him slipping Robert the allergens, and laughing about it with his friends afterwards, as well as actually watching Robert take the damn thing and doing nothing when he drops" reports Prism, showing Flambae the aforementioned footage. "He's not getting away with it, Bae, don't worry. And Robert is strong, he's not gonna die. He's ok, he was treated really quick thanks to you, and the doctors did a great job. He'll be fine," she reassures, eyes sliding to the form on the bed. "You made sure he'll be fine".

"He should have been fine in the first place. Who the fuck was the dickhead that got him, Prism?" forces out Flambae, eyes not moving from the rise and fall of Robert's chest.

"A jealous co-worker passed over for promotion a few too many times, who thought that Robert had bitten off more than he could chew working with the Z-Team, and got too much attention for it. A nobody. Not even a villain. Just a really shitty and petty human normie. Who happened to have access to employee med files".

"So what you're telling me is that Mecha Man could have died because of a jealous piece of shit, huh? Not gone out in a blaze of heroic glory, not fighting for his life, or saving some civilians. But suffocating and clawing at his throat because some fucking peach juice was squeezed into his coffee? What kinda fucked up carma is that, Prism?" demanded Flambae, the ice hot flames inside him condensing into a wobbling aura that causes the woman to take a step back from him.

"Bae, you have to calm down. Yes, he could have died. But he didn't. Because you were there, and you're smart, and kind, and you got him here in time. You saved him, baby. He's ok," mutters Prism, lowering her glasses and looking at him with a sad expression. "He'll be fine. And we can make sure he never has to go through something like this again, right? We'll all be more careful now, he'll be fine," she promises, sliding her glance to Robert.

"Yeah... Yeah, I got him."

‘Life-transforming’: British clinical trial shows hope for patients with peanut, food allergies

The Food Standards Agency said 2 million people in the U.K. have a diagnosed food allergy. In the U.S., about 5.5. million children have a f

"A clinical trial studying severe allergic reactions in the U.K. is being called “life-transforming.”

Five United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS) hospitals are participating in the £2.5 million ($3.2 million) trial to help patients live with their food allergies.

The study is being funded by the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, Sky News reported. The foundation was formed in the memory of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, who died in 2016 after eating a baguette that had sesame in it...

The trial is studying clinical oral immunotherapy treatments in which patients are given small doses of the food to which they are allergic to build up their tolerance. The food is given under medical supervision by trained staff, The Telegraph reported.

The study has 139 people participating who have allergies to peanuts or cow’s milk. They range in age from 2 to 23 years old, the BBC reported.

The Food Standards Agency said 2 million people in the U.K. have a diagnosed food allergy. In the U.S., about 5.5. million children have a food allergy, the National Institutes of Health reported.

One 11-year-old who was diagnosed with a severe peanut allergy when he was an infant can now eat six peanuts.

A 5-year-old with a milk allergy can drink 120 ml of milk every day and can enjoy a daily hot chocolate, the BBC reported.

“To have a patient who has had anaphylaxis [Note: Anaphylaxis is an allergic reaction so severe that it's potentially fatal without immediate treatment. It is very common with peanut allergies in particular. x] to 4mls of milk to then tolerate 90mls within six to eight months is nothing less than a miracle,” Sibel Donmez-Ajtai, a pediatric allergy consultant and principal investigator at Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, said, according to Sky News.

The final results of the study are expected to be released in 2027.

Similar studies have been conducted in the U.S. To find one, visit FoodAllergy.org.

Earlier this year, the NIH released the findings of a study of an antibody treatment that would help children consume allergy triggers safely."

Micah Yujin w/ an MC with food allergies

I love this man and want him to cook for me but I'm allergic to a shit ton of stuff. *sigh*

The day Micah came by was so unexpected. He even went to the grocery store before stopping by cause he PLANNED on feeding you

The first night goes well. You talk and eat. You keep eyeing and asking him what he's making out of habit but nothing crazy goes in. Micah notices but just thinks you're asking for when he leaves.

The next day, Micah makes lunch. Something simple. You've slept in the same bed and had pillow talk, there's NOTHING stopping you from having a bad day.

Expect.....

He does it. He did the thing. You also forgot to ask. You just trusted him completely and he added in the thing you were allergic to.

IF IT'S A SMALL REACTION - Micah panics... like crazy. He apologizes profusely. Makes a mental note to NEVER go near that food again. You tell him what to grab you so you can stop the reaction and feel better and boy is ZOOMING around your place

If it's a BIG REACTION - Micah panics... again. If you're throat closes up hehehe uh oh. You traumatized him 🫶🏾✨️ will immediately drive you to the hospital and pay for the bill (cuz he's rich like that) cries in American Healthcare

When you're alive and recovering he will cry and say he thought you were gonna die,, THEN ask what happened.

This is when you inform him about your allergies and what could possibly kill or or just make you super uncomfy if it's mild

Will create a list on his phone of EVERYTHING. Whether its what you don't like or truly something you're allergic to.

Please don't do this to him again.

He WILL be scared to make you food again.... but he can't leave his Angel hungry now can he ????

Please remember to inform people of your allergies. He'll be the one asking for you if you forget. And you will forget again because he does it so often for you

Okkkk that's it 🫶🏾

As someone with multiple anaphylactic food allergies (the kind that make your throat close off and can very easily be life threatening without an EpiPen), I have headcanons for both Ilya and Shane if they have this type of allergy. Here they are:

Shane: If he notices he is having an allergic reaction, he will quickly inform the nearest person he trusts (usually either his parent, Hayden, or later Ilya) and then go to the nearest private space to stab himself with his Epi and figure out if an ambulance is necessary (If you do Epi early enough, ambulance is generally not necessary, but you still need to go to the ER). This is what you are supposed to do, and his parents have drilled it into his head since his first allergy test: inform, inject, observe.

I also think that leading up to the reaction, Shane will start to clear his throat a lot and chug water. This is what I do because, as an autistic person, it can be really hard for me to figure out what is happening in my body, and sometimes anxiety in a group setting can feel similar to a reaction, so it can take me a few minutes to figure out which one is going on, and the water will help with anxiety, but not a reaction. Since Ilya is so good at recognising and managing Shane’s anxiety, he is able to spot almost instantly if something is just anxiety or an actual reaction.

Ilya: I think Ilya, in his standard fashion, does the most unhinged thing possible to avoid admitting vulnerability (A.K.A. The exact opposite of what you should do). If he notices a reaction coming on, he will politely excuse himself to the bathroom without telling anyone, and then proceed to try to talk his body out of having a reaction. Upon this failing, he will finally relent, stab himself with his Epi, and limp back to the table. He will then try to hide what happened for the rest of the meal, even though the throat swelling and discomfort makes it very hard to talk, and he will, on days when he is feeling particularly masochistic, continue eating and hope that the epinephrine will do its job. Needless to say, this has landed him in the ER on multiple occasions.

For Ilya’s tells, I think he can figure out what is going on a lot faster than Shane, and the second he realises it, he is OUT. So really the only way for people to know what is happening is if they realise that he made a slightly more abrupt exit than usual, which Shane gets very good at recognising.

I feel like I'm the only person I know who could take a drug meant to lower your blood pressure (propranolol) and end up hypertensive from it instead.

The annoying thing is it killed my migraine pain; I'm just fucking allergic to it, so I can't even enjoy being pain-free because the rest of me got hit with the anaphylactoid reaction stick.
