Wouldn't people who claim glutamate (MSG) allergies immediately die, since it's also a neurotransmitter?

"Food allergy symptoms are caused by the interaction between a food allergen and an antibody known as IgE (immunoglobulin E). To diagnose a food allergy, your allergist may use a skin prick test (SPT) to measure the presence of IgE antibodies for the suspect food. SPTs are inexpensive, produce immediate results, and can be performed in the doctor’s office."

What region of your country is the worst?

To be fair, I have never been to Bavaria, but the few interactions I had with Bavarians weren't painting a positive picture. I worked in a theme park in northern Germany on the weekends while I was still in school and my friendly "moin." was answered with a "Das heisst servus, Junge!". Maybe they were just drunk, though. So no bad blood to my southern friends. My previous comment should be taken as friendly banter.

Anyone else disappointed with the durability of Ducky Keyboards?

Currently using this one:

I'm happy with it. The knockoff blue switches are better than Cherry blues IMO (much quieter, remind me more of MX browns), the keycaps are only double-shot ABS, though.

I have also used MSG to reduce both fat and salt in the meals I cook. A big reason I asked this question is that I wanted to know if there is a legitimate reason I should tell people that the food I cooked for them contains glutamate. Because the reaction is often similar to your sisters. And guess what, if I don't tell them, nobody is experiencing any form of side effects.
