To be fair, I have an allergy to tomatoes. But only to raw tomatoes. I'm fine with cooked and processed tomatoes.

I've gone into a diner before, told the waitress to not give me any tomatoes on my burger because I was highly allergic... and then asked for ketchup. I'm sure she thought I was crazy or a liar, but it was perfectly valid.

I'm not even the only member of my family to have that allergy. A cousin of mine had the same thing (and I've met two other people in food services who have said they knew other people with the same deal), so I know it's not just me being weirdly psychosomatic. Even a single seed or a bit of juice from a raw tomato has made me projectile vomit before, but I can eat ketchup and pizza and spaghetti sauce just fine.
