Salads where the unspecified cheese turns out to be gorgonzola or another blue cheese, or if I accidentally end up with blue cheese dressing instead of ranch...
I am allergic to mold. My body is convinced that blue cheese is not only not food but ought to be kept as far away as possible. It gets close to my face and my instinctive reaction is to throw it across the room.
So that's less than ideal, but I know I'm lucky for that to be the only thing I have a strong reaction to. I had a housemate once who was so allergic to walnuts I couldn't even eat them (or anything that they happened to be in) if she was in the house because the dust would start to get to her.
