I was listening to Ray Peat about allergies, really a fascinating interview:
He said that mild allergies can kill people with anaphalactic shock. But if they have high blood sugar, they are able to not have a problem even with very serious allergens so long as they have high blood sugar. 300 level can protect against even serious toxins.
A mention of snakebite and Dr. Peat said drinking a Coke could make it quite a lot better.
I then dived into studies and found that since 1925 at least, we've known that serious poison allergen challenges (endotoxins too) cause the liver to dump glycogen and this protects against the allergen.
But if you have a fatty liver, or low glycogen stores, from PUFA damage, then you won't have the reserve in your liver and you may die from the allergen.
