I wasn't ingesting it any more than a regular person -- but I was surprised to find out how many foods use Yellow 6. It's more orange than yellow. It's also banned in several countries. It used to be in Kraft Mac and Cheese but they replaced their artificial colors with natural ones, which is nice.
One thing I wondered while being allergic to it, was how much could I take before triggering the reaction. It ended up being extremely little. A single dorito chip would set it off. After that, I just cut it out of my diet completely.
Another weird thing is the reaction would last about 45 minutes exactly every time. I'd be sitting on the toilet bent over in agony, watching the clock.
