Are peanut allergies as common in China as they are in the US?

Jeoh posted:well, america Loads of European countries have higher infection rates than the US does as of the last 2 months (defined by infection requiring hospitalization). The US still has higher per capita deaths because "don't need no vaccine", but most places have reopened even if they higher infection rates than most places in the states.

No. Peanut allergies (and most food allergies tbh) are kind of unknown outside the US and maybe a few other western countries. That said, when I talked to Chinese friends about this they suggested any baby with a peanut allergy in China would be dead pretty fast so maybe that's part of the difference.  Nearly every Chinese person I know claims to be allergic to alcohol though. One explained that she knows she is because if she drinks she feels dizzy and hot. My attempt to explain that is how alcohol works and is not an allergy fell on deaf ears.

My understanding is that alcohol intolerance acts very fast, usually after a single drink, rather than the few you need to get drunk

The Asian flush is a thing but it's different than an allergy. And it's pretty consistent across all East Asian populations yet somehow only in China people claim not to be able to drink, I sure as hell didn't notice any reluctance in Korea or Japan. Or north China for that matter. People in Sichuan don't drink much anyway. After living in Korea it was like being in a Mormon temple. I don't pressure people or anything, but I'd rather friends just tell me they don't want to drink than lie about an allergy.

It's infuriatingly hard to find Peking duck in San Diego. Every Chinese place I try has it crossed off their menu. Still I found at least one place to satisfy my crispy duck cravings.

This thread inspired me to roast a duck for dinner, and it was about $22 for a 3.5 lbs bird. Good for nostalgia, but it’ll be a long while before i get it again.

I get like that if I have one glass of red wine. I turn bright red and feel kinda like I have an allergy, hot and itchy, I am not Asian and it happens with no other alcohol as far as I know so I always assumed it was something something sulfites or whatever.

BrainDance posted:I get like that if I have one glass of red wine. The alcohol flush reaction can happen with people who aren't Asian, it's just an inherited trait that is very common amongst the East Asian in particular, as well as the Southeast Asian, Inuit, and Ashkenazi populations. And particular types of alcohols can trigger the response; I have a non-Asian friend who pops red with certain varieties of whiskey, for example. Antihistamines can actually alleviate some of the effects, so it would make sense that the symptoms may feel similar to allergies. Kaal fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Apr 2, 2022 |

Like the evening of day 3 I’ll start getting giant red blotches all over. Guess I eventually just run out of the enzyme.

I should try taking antihistamines next time I try alcohol, but generally I hate the taste of most beers/wines and gives me the same conditions as reported by most in this thread. I did feel very drunk after some vodka/cokes once, but every other time I tried drinking I just get sick more than drunk as well as itchiness. So I just stick to weed instead

If China ends up Russia’s lifeline, do you think it itself might end up sanctioned by the west?

I'unno, bit of a difference between sanctioning a supply of oil and sanctioning one of the biggest manufacturers. Not saying it couldn't be done, but the consequences of offshoring drat near everything could hit a lot harder in our own pockets if it came to it.

I think many major industrial nations will freak out even harder than with Russian sanctions. You need to get your energy from somewhere else is a huge pain in the rear end. You need to get your everything from somewhere else, and also block imports from other people getting there everything from there as well is probably too much to bear. I don't know how the company I work for would handle it.

I did a quick search and the only thing that came up was that it's banned in Zambia. It's completely uncontrolled in China or Korea at least, but it's a pain in the rear end to get. There are like no over the counter allergy meds with diphenhydramine in either country. In Korea there are 50mg dph gelcaps that are sold for sleep, but they suck because 50mg is twice as much as you'd want for allergies. In China I've just never seen it, but you just get it on taobao it's not hard. But what you can get in both countries at any pharmacy if you ask for something for allergies is an extract of belladonna cuz traditional medicine. And, it works, scopolamine and atropine are anticholinergic antihistamines. They just suck so bad and literally every other antihistamine is better, the side effects are worse than having allergies. I have the same problems with pseudoephedrine, have to go to the hospital and see a doctor and all that to get it. I can walk into any pharmacy and get ephedrine in 5 minutes though, which also works but I want to sleep/not have my heart explode. Having allergies/hosed sinuses in Asia sucks.

Whenever I would go back to the US I would go to Costco and get the big bottles of Zyrtec and Advil and Tums, because it was so much cheaper than trying to buy large quantities in Taiwan. I hate everything about the American healthcare system except this.

I hate everything about the American healthcare system except this. The way it works in China, it's easier to get large quantities of prescription stuff than the OTC stuff. You can go to the store and get a box of 8 ibuprofens.... Or you can go on meituan, order a prescription bottle of 100 naproxen capsules, it takes you to "Dr meituan guy" who says "hello do you have a condition that needs this?... Yes... Ok here you go one prescription even though I know nothing about you." I have a big bottle of promethazine just because it was easier to get than diphenhydramine at the time and I had an allergic reaction, didn't wanna take belladonna extract. I think prescriptions are more like suggestions in China, or maybe pharmacists can prescribe things, cuz no one seems to care.
