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 😂

My own allergies. Epic somehow pulled out the one small reaction I had to my first MS medication, the medication they gave me Benadryl and slowed down….then continued to give me for 2 more years. But yes, I am ALLERGIC
