Nutmeg is a big trigger for me and Thai food often contains it. Sometimes it's a pain in the neck for me to go to a Thai restaurant because often the staffs' English isn't the best. Usually what I have to say is "If you're not sure it's not in there I'll eat something else.". No sense in waking up on their floor just to eat something that smells good.

Yes I think nutmeg is connected with a great number of allergies. I wonder if a higher number of reactions are reported in countries where it is prevelant in cooking, or whether there is less aversion to it due to consistent consumption during childhood? lawn trimmer
