I’ve been ostracized my whole life and made to feel worse than smokers. At least they chose to smoke, so they know that one of the side effects is stepping outside restaurants and bars to create a cloud hazardous to them and passers by. At least they have the satisfaction in knowing that the extra dollars they pay per pack goes to making the environment clean and giving them a shot at cancer.

I am allergic to human beings. I’ve been laughed at by doctors whose advice I sought for a prescription that is part epinephrine and part antihistamine. I spend all day indoors and whenever I step out and see the 2-legged creatures, I’m filled with both fascination and revulsion. Fascinated because it’s human, repulsed because I know what an encounter would lead to. The doctors have suggested, dismissively, that I should try changing my diet to combat the rashes I get when, for example, I have guests for dinner. I fail to understand that these brilliant minds went through medical school just to tell me about remedies I already know and have tried.  

I have tried different diets. No peanuts, no milk, no carbs, all carbs, no fish, no animals, no protein, vegetarian, vegan, 15 glasses of water a day, all insect, caffeine-free, coffee in the ass to get rid of toxins. They all produce the same result: No matter what the humans eat, every time I take a bite into their flesh I get an allergic reaction. 

So I’m appealing to your sense of humanity to offer me some protection as I seek treatment for the allergies. It’s hard enough trying to get a cure without everyone calling me the C word, cannibal. I seek, no demand, to have my voice heard as I pursue my basic right to food. 

For now, I gnaw at my limbs for sustenance. I’m grateful that I’m not allergic to my own flesh. I know I’m missing some nutrients as I engage in the allergy-imposed self sustaining system. I do not know how long I have, having lost both legs and an arm. Please recognize that I too am human, and at least let me die with some dignity. 

I won’t give my name for fear of being eaten alive.
