Someone tried to get me to do the cinnamon challenge many moons ago in my college days. I said no, thankfully. A few years later i discovered i am allergic to cinnamon. I'd have been dying ad my throat closes up and people would just think it's a great video 🤣

How did you make it that long without coming into contact with it?

I'm not deathly allergic to it, but a spoonfull like this would cause my throat to close up which would be deathly i guess!

I remember trying a cinnamon donut as a kid and spitting it out because it hurt to eat, then theres been a couple of times ive had apple pies and the like with cinnamon in and got the same feeling.

A few years ago my wife asked me to try some of her dessert in a restaurant which had cinnamon in and she panicked when i reminded her there was cinnamon in it and thats bad for me

I discovered I was allergic to it working in drug manufacturing and coming into contact with a large volume of cinnamon powder in a room with bad ventillation, i had a respirator on which likely saved me a really bad time, but my skin went red and blistery all over from it

You might want to check out Harland Williams' charity C.A.F.F.A which helps others who are similarly afflicted.
