Is being this allergic to detergent common? Can people go into anaphylaxis from them? That's basically what the author is trying to convey. TL:DR, the poster claims they are fully disinheriting their fiance because he used detergent she was allergic to.
My fiancé and I recently bought a house together, we got basic things from his family, as house warming gifts.

His grandmother gifted us a huge package of laundry detergent. Now here is where the problem starts: I am and I used to be highly allergic against most laundry detergents. I am not talking about some uncomfortable itchieness or whatever, but vomiting, diarrhea, losing my eyesight temporarily and at the end my consciousness. I have been hospitalized for this multiple times already.

We are using 2 brands, I am not allergic against. He keeps complaining, that they don't smell that good. Which might be true, they aren't really fragrant and I know he used to drown his clothes in fabric softener, to make them smell nice.

I offered to slowly start trying new laundry detergents, because he keeps complaining and those two aren't easily accessible in his home country, but definitely not in the foreseeable future, as I am 8 months pregnant and very afraid of the possible consequences. (We still have more than enough, of the safe ones.)

He agreed and I thought the topic was done, but then his brother gifted us babyclothes, my fiancé kept commenting how good they smelled and how badly he wants our clothes to smell like this. I sorted through them and after I was around halfway done, I noticed, that I felt kinda off, my hands felt weird, my body felt wrong, so I washed every bodypart that touched those clothes and refused to touch them without gloves. (My fiancé bought them for me!!!) So he definitely knows, that I am still allergic against some detergents.

Well, he still decided to use the gifted laundry detergent on our towels, I didn't notice until I started folding them and putting them away. My hands started to get hot and kind of numb/itchy. At first I was afraid that I am now allergic against one of the safe ones, until I noticed the gifted one was opened and kind of shoved into a corner. Our other two are also opened and readily available, I just don't get it.

I texted him and asked, if he used the gifted laundry detergent for anything. He said "yes, what's the big deal?" I told him that that's not funny and he is potentially playing with the life of our unborn son and mine and why he thought, that now of all times, is the right time to test my allergy again. He called me a drama queen and ignored me after. So I changed my will. My fiancé gets nothing now, neither my part of the house nor my other assets. Everything goes to my son, with my family as trustees, until he is of age. If something were to happen to both my son and me, my cousins will be the sole inheritors. My fiancé was originally meant to be the trustee, with different guidelines, to make my sons life and his pretty comfortable.

I trashed the old will, sent the new version to my lawyer, to make him look over it and plan to get it to a notary as soon as possible.

English isn't my first language and I am on my phone, so excuse any mistakes + the funny formatting, please

Fakerald. Who gifts laundry detergent?

It's rare, but it does happen. Usually it's an allergy to specific things, like perfumes or preservatives, that are added to the detergent, which is why it can seem brand-specific.

Everything after "I'm allergic to detergents" is almost definitely a lie, though.

Seriously how do redditors not realize how blatantly fake these stories are. AiTA is the worse offender

It becomes readily apparent whenever redditors talk about their social lives. Some of them have posted about going months without speaking to another human being in person. They get nearly all of their socialization from reddit and discord and tele servers that are filled with their peers who breathlessly agree with groupthink.

They have no frame of reference for what is plausible or not.

That makes sense, I always assumed that maybe it’s just teenagers But what you said make more sense given the demographics of Reddit. Just goes to show how fucking dumb they are
 
r/SuicideWatch janny nukes every single comment except their own comment complaining about nobody reporting "hate speech":

Vomiting and diarrhea are not symptoms of that kind of allergy unless she's eating the detergent. She probably does legitimately have an allergy to detergent - it's surprisingly common - but it would manifest as a temporary rash. The rest of her symptoms are psychosomatic. With a heavy emphasis on "psycho".

You know you how hear stories about kids who are so allergic to peanuts that if they so much as smell a peanut they start getting an itchy throat? Same thing. It's not possible to be allergic to the smell of a peanut, but the overwhelming majority think it is. Hypochondria takes care of the rest.

Huh, what a name. I wonder what that subreddit actually entailed, I highly doubt there was actual selling of meth, Reddit just found the sub.

Okay, but are you basically a slightly smarter redditor, absolutely obsessed with your own interests and perversions, but completely oblivious to the wants or needs of anyone else?

It was a sub for meth smoking chuds. Redditors tried to create MethWithoutNazism but it was stillborn. IIRC MWC had like 33k users or something, it was quite impressive for a gimmick subreddit. It's quite fascinating, all the other drug subreddits are liberal, except meth was right-wing. Even beloved crack smoking BMJ declared himself "very far right politically". I guess I have to accept that stimulants are drugs for the White Man.
