Good point Eeyore...just people I know who are allergic to shellfish or peanuts...well they have known it since they were children. Although possible, These allergies do not usually happen/start in adulthood....they usually start in childhood. So, Amanda is gone, she passed out, and that is all we really know about her....she has said she was hypoglycemic... Allison is gone and the HG are saying it was an allergic reaction.

I agree TV. I was thinking "Where the heck is BB??" I guess they were too busy "getting their shot".

Eeyore I'll even top your egg story. When they went to give my Mom a flu shot years ago her MD was mad at her for not telling her she's allergic to eggs. She told him that's cause she's not...she eats them all the time. Seems she was allergic but never realized it. For some reason she reacted significantly more to the egg base in the shot (forget specifics but remember how stunned she was to hear she was allergic to something she ate all the time). BTW Angelic, they knew Amanda was hypoglycemic, she had been begging to get in the storage room and they wouldn't let her. Mindboggling isn't it????!!!

Scary Sunshyne to be allergic to the thing that is meant to save your life during an allergic reaction. Benadryl and ephinephrine is usually what you get for a severe allergic reaction. Which would make since if your allergic to an epi- pen. Whatever Allison's problem is it sounds like a contact allergy. People with allergies can react to unknown things as well-- i have broken out in hives but never found the cause several times. As for Josh and Sharon maybe talking game is their way to deal...rather than dwelling on what happened. Many people deal with stress and worry by keeping things as normal as possible. And normal for that house is game talk. Does not in anyway make them uncaring.

Skylar you are right. The hg's should leave the medical opinions to the doctors. So shouldn't posters here. I'm flabberghasted at some of the things that have been said. But really should I be??? LOL This is after all Big Brother. Just I find it amazing to keep referring to a hg as whining when she was trying to get some help for her condition. Whether she should of been there or not is irrevelent to her health. IMO

well, I think that it shouldnt take Nat to get help, there are cameramen following them..i think for a minute it seemed like nat might have thought that BB would come running...since they jump on the mic quickly if someone is singing or something

I wish we had a timeline of events. I would like to know when the last time was that anyone saw Allison. Was she already gone when Ama fainted??

Amykat, I had a doctor tell me that some late-life allergies happen due to "trauma to the gut" based on that ingredient. I kind of believe this, because in around grade 10, I wanted egg nog in the summer. So I looked up a recipe, and blended it all together. Wasn't the same at all, and it make me YAK. After that, I never wanted eggs, or french toast, or anything like that. And I used to love eggs! My only contact with eggs was as an INGREDIENT, which is why it's hard to realize you're allergic to it, especially since you've been eating it all your life. It was mayo that I guess was setting off the allergy later on down the road. People are SO STUPID with their allergies. I work at a seafood restaurant. People come in and say, "I'm allergic to seafood, so what can I have?" I usually tell them we won't serve them, because there is just SOOOO much seafood in the restaurant, that we CANNOT guarantee we can keep food out of contact with seafood, oils etc. Why would you go to a peanut butter factory, if you're allergic to peanuts? People really are stupid sometimes. <77>

I'm not sure if there's a video on here leading up to the faint, but it sounded like Amanda was trying to get the DR to open for her. She said she really needed something to eat, then I believe she rang the DR door, and then she fainted. That's why she was right there. She knew what she needed, that's what sucks. It could have been prevented.

What female was just complaining that "they would put someone in with a problem like that"? GEEZ do you need to be perfect in every way to get in BB? I want to dislike whoever said it but I'm not sure who it was. Odds are I already dislike em hehehe OMG Sharon is counting votes now. She is such a lovely, concerned person.

Christiii - avacado = green, slimey heaven Ever since the fruit allergies connected to my latex allergy developed, I'm very nervous about eating fruits I've never eaten. Elderberry juice is supposed to keep you from getting sick. It closed my throat up. Literally the only time I've ever feared for my life. And for some stupid reason, I made no attempt to call attention to myself. I didn't try to scream or bang on my desk or throw something against the wall or anything. My dad came into my room about 30 seconds after the trouble started and saw me choking.

That's what I thought Christiii. Why didn't it go immediately to flames and someone get in there. It's not like the cam wasn't on her.

I can eat peanuts and almonds, but I'm allergic to tree nuts. Almonds are a tree nut but I've read that people who have tree nut allergies are not affected by almonds. I got my first tree nut allergy at age 12 and have had 4 allergy reactions since with each being worse than the last. Next time I have one I should probably be rushed to the hospital asap.

Cristii - I would say she was gone. Because, as I mentioned - someone mentioned that the nurse was already there "because of Allison". And in all the pictures of the faint, there was no Allison anywhere.

Growing up i was allergic to almost everything.. I'm one of the rare people of my generation who does not have the scar from small pox vaccine.. i couldn't get it i was allergic to eggs.. but can eat them now. Shellfish and peanuts are the worse food allergies and they are both ones you know about at a young age. I out grew many allergies-either the weekly shots as a kid worked or i just got use to thing with age.. i have cats now and i couldn't be in the same room with them as a kid.. I can be around some dogs but the ones with coarser hair- like german shepards i can't be around. go figure. But peanuts i will never be able to have... hubby can't even kiss me if he eats it. The smell makes me sick..

Allison was spotted running in the backyard 10-15 minutes before the Amanda incident.

It did take a while for the BB staff to respond to Amanda's emergency. I can only hope that she is okay...
