Hey hey hey!!!! Long time, no see!!!! I haven't posted anything on here in over a year, WOWZERS!!!! Let me fill you in on some stuff. If you watch my channel on YouTube a lot, you are probably very aware of my barf streak. My OG viewers might even remember my most well known barf streak that was notorious for its impressive longevity-- that is the streak that had been going on since 5/20/15!!!! It would have been just over three years as of now, however, unfortunately it ended on 1/28/18 at 2 years, 8 months, 1 week and 1 day. So then I figured this new streak would also be a long one... well, here's what actually happened.
Unfortunately, today on 6/10/10, at only four months my barf streak ended. But the good thing is that I think I might have found the cause of it!!!! "Daniela, you figured out WHY you barfed???" Yes, I did!!!!! And it was the same cause as four months ago!!!! Here's my conspiracy theory:
I have gone years without barfing before. My great 2 year 8 month 8 day barf streak was living proof that barfing is a very rare case for me. So the fact that I literally didn't barf for well over two years, and then suddenly barfed not once but TWICE in the same year... well, that was a little suspicious. But what makes things even more suspicious is the fact that both times, I had eaten at a seafood restaurant the night before.
I know what you're thinking: "Daniela, that means you're allergic to seafood!!!" Well, I'm only really "allergic" (or should I say intolerant) to one specific group of seafood (I forget the name of the group). What I should be avoiding is scallops, mussels, that kind of stuff. I've had things like salmon and shrimp and was completely fine.
But the thing that made me discover this intolerance thing was scallops. And both times we went to a seafood place, my brother ordered scallops and we tried some of each other's food. I thought back to the other times I ate scallops and remembered I have a history of barfing every time I eat a scallop (I should have taken the hint and not eaten the scallop!!!!) but then I decided it was just a coincidence so I ate the scallop. I'm not going to lie, I did this under very careful consideration (okay, it should have been a little more careful consideration) but after it ended my barf streak for the second time this year (and for the whatever-th time in my life) I looked up my crisis and apparently, it's an actual thing. Apparently it is completely possible to be intolerant to specific seafoods and to barf after eating said specific seafood (for me, that would be scallops and anything in the same group as them).
So with that said, I am never eating a scallop or mussle or anything along those lines in my life ever again. The worst part about my recent barfing is that it was easily avoidable. If I could have just thought twice on the evening of 1/27/18 (that was the night before I lost my legendary barf streak) and on 6/9/18, I could be slayinin' it with a 3 year and 3 week barf streak instead of a 22 hour 30 minute barf streak, But at least I now know how to prevent it from happening. As long as I don't eat another scallop, I can keep my barfing a very rare case instead of every 4 months. The last time I barfed but I didn't eat a scallop (it was a reason that I never figured out, I guess it was just the occasional case of barfing that everyone gets from time to time) was on 5/20/15, and that was over 3 years ago, so that's a pretty accurate idea of how rarely I barf (as long as I don't eat scallops!!!!). Now, I don't have scallops very often, so even then my barfing is still rare, but this time I just happened to have a scallop more frequently than normal, so that explains why I had such a short streak.
One last thing, I am just so glad I don't get sick when I have salmon, because salmon is my favorite seafood and I don't think I could live without it.
So yeah, that's my story!!!! I hope I can post another post here within less than a year, haha :)
