Additional Comments: I was wondering why Grayson was scratching so much. Fennel shows up in a lot of Italian recipes, Dusty better think twice about hanging out with the Ciconni sisters.

Anyone allergic to fennel wouldn't eat sausage, as it's in most sausage recipes I've ever seen...What I don't get is why Dusty would fake an allergy attack...

Dusty knew there was sausage in the casserole, you'd think he would have asked about the fennel. Ridiculous.

Good point, fennel is an ingredient for many sausage recipes. eom/Allison

I think Dusty was suppose to be allergic to mushrooms but the writers got mixed up. Why would Janet mention that Liberty liked mushrooms? A lot of people are allergic to mushrooms.

Maybe it was Grayson coming out of character, but I swear, when Teri turned away to get the epi-pen, it looked like Dusty stopped "suffering" for a brief time. Maybe he was faking?

He'd better not take strolls along the Pacific Coast where fennel grows wild. Each breath he takes in would be toxic to him. I thought I died and went to heaven smelling the beautiful fennel aroma in the air, it was wonderful and something I'll never forget.

He's deathly allergic to fennel, but he hasn't trained himself to taste it?
He's deathly allergic to ANYTHING, and doesn't carry his epi pen at all times?

Not Dusty, he laughs in the face of death. Can you imagine how many people would have liked to have this information about the fennel? Looks like a pretty easy way to take Dusty out, since he keeps his epi pen in his hotel room. eom/Allison

It's hard to imagine anyone who was allergic to fennel would eat anything Italian without checking first.

Dusty had better watch each mouthful of food he takes in, for not only is fennel used in Italian dishes/meats, it is also widely used in sauces and spices for Chinese, Northern European, German, Indian, Middle East cuisines....and the list goes on. Plus he'd better take care on what he drinks, for fennel is the basis for some alcoholic mixtures as well.
