minus-squarespicy pancake@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up44·6 days agoI’m really scared of contracting this because a lot of delicious desserts I like contain carageenan also: AGS can induce life-threatening intolerance to medical products including medicines, vaccines, antivenoms, infant formula, sutures, contact lenses, tattoo inks, and glycerin-based soaps and surfactants.
