People have RT'ed the article and said they would kill themselves if they had to live that way.
It's not okay to say that living a certain way is worse than death when people *do* live that way, every day. And enjoy our lives, thanks.

Other people have rt'ed and questioned whether it's possible to react to derivatives of corn.

But it's just really disheartening to have people question whether a sensitivity that affects every aspect of your life is literally even possible. Like, I'm right here. And when I don't avoid these things I have anaphylaxis. But thanks for doubting my existence.
I've muted all the people I saw doing this, especially the ones following me who did.
