I just got back from a very angry and therapeutic drive. “Drive Angry”, I get it now. I’m still livid though. I finally went to go talk to my neighbors about the Peanut situation just now. Rant Ahead.
The husband answered, hes nice. Then she came to the door, said “I Dont wanna talk to you right now. I did some research on the internet and found no correlation between anaphylactic peanut allergies and exposure to peanut shells.” WUT. YOU DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND NOW YOU ARE AN EXPERT ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT I WONT DIE FROM EXPOSURE TO THIS!?!?!?
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!
My mom came with us this time, My mom said “well, squirrels carry disease” she replied with “Well the way I see it, A well fed squirrel is a healthy squirrel” at some point or another I tried to explain how peanut shells are grown by keratin, keratin is a protein and protein causes anaphylaxis and then tried to explain the symptoms of anaphylaxis (Which is asphyxia leading to cyanosis and death if you didnt know). She interrupted me and said “I dont want to talk to you right now”. She might as well have said “I love squirrels, go die in your yard”. Seriously, How much of a nutball is this lady!?!? Thats when I left in a storm screaming “I’M SORRY IF I WANT TO FEEL SAFE TO GO INTO MY BACKYARD” then went for a spirited drive in my truck.
My mom offered to give them a note from my allergist saying that its dangerous. I can see the feeder from my bedroom window, If I catch them putting out peanuts after they get a note from a medical professional explaining the dangers of what they are doing, I am calling the cops and filing an attempted assault charge.
I have an inalienable right as an american to feel safe on my own property. They have knowledge that I have a life threatening allergy, I have asked them twice now to stop putting them out, they are aware that I have been finding shells in my yard (Video proof below) and they are going to get a note from someone the courts would consider an expert in the field saying what they are doing is potentially lethal to me. If this doesnt stop THEY WILL be hearing from me again and I’m bringing the cops with me this time.
