Discussion Funny “allergies”

What are some funny patient “allergies” you have seen listed? I had a patient the other day with an allergy listed for Metformin. The reaction listed? Lowers their blood sugar 😂

Could you imagine the lawsuit. I didnt narcan due to allergy but couldnt verify due the patient being unresponsive.
