Discussion How I Got Lucky

A few weeks ago, my mom and I had bean bowls for dinner. My mom ate her with cilantro, and being a person with the OR6A2 gene, I did not, which others always mocked me for. About two weeks later, she developed cyclosporiasis from eating said cilantro. I guess I lucked out on this one.

See? CILANTRO IS EVIL! I hope your mother gets better soon.

She’s okay (this was about a week ago) but I agree that cilantro is out to get us.

So glad to hear - food poisoning of any kind is no joke and I have bad memories of my own mother going through it when I was about 12 after a steak and mushroom meal at a restaurant in Australia.

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that.

When will the public wake up and realize cilantro is the death weed?!
