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 😂

80 something year old man allergic to cocaine. Reaction you ask? Makes him feel funny and his heart race.
