Today, I sold ice cream to a group of kids. One of them looked sad, because he was the only one who couldn't buy any, so I gave him some for free. Apparently, he was allergic to something in it, and ended up being rushed to the hospital. FML

hey thanks for the comments guys. to answer a few questions neither the kid nor the parent knew he was allergic. aparently he reacted to the red food coloring which caused him to break out in a full body rash the poor little guy was so upset. but now we know he isn't allergic to all ice cream so I told him and the mom they will have free ice cream on me for the rest of the year... as long as it doesn't have red dye! Thanks to all who commented, Cheers!

Wow! You're a pretty fabulous ice cream man, OP. And this is a true FML - you tried to do something nice and it turned on you! At least it worked out, the kid's ok, and you're not in trouble!!

I found out recently that I'm allergic to red dye as well. The only thing is that I don't get a physical reaction. It makes me act like I'm drunk.

The kid probably didn't even know he was allergic.

It's not your fault OP. If the kid is old enough to be away from his parents then he is old enough to ask what's in the ice cream. I work at a daycare and the 4 year olds with allergies know what they can and can't have, and if they're unsure they ask.

According to OP, the kid had no idea that he was allergic to anything in the ice cream.

sorry I posted my first comment before I saw OP's reply. If I would've seen it I would've never posted my comment.

Actually, I agree with you normally, so I'm unsure why this was down voted so much. Granted, in this case, the follow-up shows the kid didn't know either, but still.

Americans are the most allergy prone people on earth.

What's with the down votes here? 74 is right.

You're a dumbass. Location has nothing to do with being more allergy prone. That's like saying native African men are more prone to have bigger equipment than African American men

Actually, the longer your family has been in the US, the greater your chance of allergies are. It may not make sense but those are statistics. I blame welfare and our inability to let Darwin have them.

Actually, it's true. Americans do tend toward more allergies than other areas. Combination of genetics and environment. First world issues - people in harsher environments either get over it or die, usually from other causes.
