stephbg | Food trials II

I've decided that lunchtime is a good time to do food trials because I'm more likely to be awake for the 6-8 hour reactions. A lack of planned brain activity the following day is also desirable, just in case.

Despite my dreams of performing trials with pizza and other forbidden fruit (mmmm, fruit) I also thought that relatively unattractive food (or alternatively no hunger) would aid the process. Consider:

Scenario 1
=================
Food = Wildly attractive, e.g. bacon, pizza, bacon pizza.
Medical Reaction = Bad
Future Behavioural Risk = Temptation to repeat the experience without regard for the consequences because I've had taste of ~~human flesh~~ bacon again and have lost all discipline and logic.
Result = Bad medical reaction PLUS guilt because I know its bad for me. Increased desire to eat bacon. Increased risk. Increased guilt. Cry havoc! and release the dogs of war.

Scenario 2
=================
Food = Unattractive, e.g. bakery goods, or crappy supermarket pasta
Medical Reaction = Bad
Future Behavioural Risk = None, with motivation. I won't do *that* again. Bzzzzt. OW.
Result = The sum of human knowledge has been increased. Tomorrow is a new day.

Scenario 3
=================
Food = Unattractive, e.g. bakery goods, or crappy supermarket pasta
Medical Reaction = OK
Future Behavioural Risk = None. No point. Meh.
Result = The sum of human knowledge has been increased, I suppose. I'm now slightly less likely to starve to death in public places.

Scenario 4
=================
Food = Wildly attractive, e.g. bacon, pizza, bacon pizza.
Medical Reaction = OK
Future Behavioural Risk = Temptation to repeat the experience because I've had taste of ~~human flesh~~ bacon and have lost all discipline.
Result = I reassume the dimensions of a sphere, but possibly happier.

=================
What I did: Salicylates, flour, amines, preservatives
=================
Food = One Baker's Delight Blueberry Danish; One Baker's Delight Apple Scroll (with sultanas). Formerly quite attractive, but today, just not in the mood. Except perhaps right in the middle of the danish, but I'm trying hard to not think about that. It was fruity, and delightfully sludgy...
Medical Reaction =
1 hour, throat's quite puffy.
1-2 hours Irregular pounding heartbeat. This was familiar but I never really noticed before that it had stopped happening (a freezing frog?). Dry cough.
1-3 hours a few strong muscle twitches in arms and legs. Throat still up.
4-5 hours more twitches, throat bad, head thick/hurts.
6-7 hours sinus, ringing ears, thumping headache.
7-8 hours, psycho hyper happy hoopy hippy. Yep, went nuts for a little while there. If I was a small child or less aware I'd have done something destructive and dangerous.
12-20 hours, broken sleep, particularly noticeable as I'd taken my upper limit of sleeping pill.
20-22 hours, headache, sinus

Future Behavioural Risk = I will find it difficult to avoid dried fruit the rest of my life. Christmas cake! Scones! Cape Fruit and Nut loaf! Dried apricots!
Result = Sultanas (and by extension other dried fruit) are a definite no-no.
