Woman Lets Boyfriend Try Her Food—Then Waiter Spots the Danger
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman has captured the terrifying moment she gave her boyfriend a bite of food—only to realize that he's allergic. Dhaniela Marrero, who goes by Mimi, was enjoying a meal out with her boyfriend, Luis, when the accident occurred. She bit into a snail and was blown away by its delicious taste, and she simply had to get her boyfriend to give it a try. The problem however is that Luis, 23, has a shellfish allergy. Mimi, 22, of Miami, Florida, told Newsweek that she didn't realize snails were considered shellfish, and she "thought nothing at all about it." Neither did Luis, who didn't question it before tasting the food. "At the time, we thought snails were land animals since we see them all the time outside our homes, especially at night," Mimi said. Luis, 23, eating a snail before realizing it's a shellfish which he's allergic to. Luis, 23, eating a snail before realizing it's a shellfish which he's allergic to. @mimiimimosaa / TikTok Thankfully, Luis told their server about his allergy at the beginning of the evening and the staff quickly stepped in. After seeing Mimi feed Luis a bit of snail, the server was quick to address the issue. "He looked over at Luis eating the snail and raised concerns to us, saying that he cannot eat snails because they are shellfish," Mimi continued. "Luis was fearful and I felt immediate regret and fault for not being more cautious when letting him try new food knowing he has an allergy." Prior to this moment, Luis remembers cutting his hand on a fishing hook that had used shrimp as bait. The following day, he awoke with his hand "completely swollen and red." Fortunately, Luis didn't experience any symptoms after eating the snail, but he still took some Benadryl to be safe. Indeed, shellfish allergies are the most common food allergies in adults, with approximately 2 percent of the U.S. population reportedly suffering. It's thought that around 60 percent of people with shellfish allergies experience their first reaction as adults, according to the charity Food Allergy Research and Education. Shellfish are categorized into two groups, crustaceans and mollusks (or bivalves). Snails come under the latter, along with clams, mussels, oysters and squid. Mimi shared a video of the moment she accidentally gave her boyfriend some shellfish on TikTok (@mimiimimosaa). In just a matter of days, the video has gone viral with over 7 million views and more than 324,700 likes on TikTok at the time of writing. The online response has been mixed, as many people were shocked at how relaxed the couple were about a food allergy, while others also had no idea that snails are shellfish. Mimi told Newsweek: "I would like to add that we are human and make mistakes—this was one of them. None of us knew snails belonged to a shellfish family, or we would have never let Luis eat one. "I've had responses from people as shocked as us to learn that snails are a type of shellfish, to people bashing and belittling us for being unaware. Some people have even gone as far as saying he should break up with me, while other people see it was simple human error." Next time they're out for food, Mimi says she's going to Google search any food she's not sure about to play it safe. The viral TikTok post has generated over 2,800 comments so far. One user wrote: "This is exactly why you tell your server allergy vs preference. A good server will do exactly this: save your life." Another TikTok user replied: "I'm allergic to shellfish and had NO clue that snails counted as shellfish." While another comment reads: "Bless this waiter for being aware! Food allergies are no joke!" Do you have any viral videos or pictures that you want to share? We want to see the best ones! Send them in to life@ and they could appear on our site.

'Chhaava' director Laxman Utekar says he was selling eggs, opened a 'wada pav' stall at Shivaji Park during his struggling days
Laxman Utekar's journey from selling eggs and washing cars to directing the Rs 800 crore blockbuster 'Chhaava' is truly inspiring. Starting as a studio sweeper, he persevered through odd jobs and eventually became a successful filmmaker with hits like 'Luka Chuppi' and 'Mimi'. Although 'Chhaava' received mixed feedback from critics, it went on to smash box office records by earning over Rs 800 crore at the worldwide box office. Director Laxman Utekar , who has directed only six films so far, struck gold with this blockbuster. However, his journey to success began humbly—he once earned a mere Rs 2 working during Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations and used to wash cars before he could afford to drive one. In a recent interview, Utekar opened up about his inspiring rise from modest beginnings to major success. Early Life and Struggles in Mumbai Laxman 's journey began in a small village in Maharashtra's Raigad district before moving to Mumbai with his uncle at a young age. On the Mama's Couch podcast, he recounted how he took on every possible job to survive in the bustling city. Reflecting on his entry into the film industry, Utekar said, 'I came into the industry by chance, and I had no backing. I was maybe 4 when my uncle brought me to Mumbai. I started selling boiled eggs outside a bar when I was 6 years old, and later I opened a vadapao stand in Shivaji Park, but that got seized by BMC. ' He also shared a unique way he earned money during the Ganapati festival, explaining how many wealthy people preferred not to leave their cars to immerse their idols. To help, Utekar and a friend offered to carry and immerse the idols for a fee of Rs 5, which they split. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Best website creation site | Build your store in minutes Shopify Shop Now Undo He humorously noted that he would even chase after cars of affluent devotees to offer this service. First Break in the Film Industry He revealed that his initial break into the film industry came after he applied to a job advertisement in the newspaper and was hired as a sweeper at a studio. Reflecting on those early days, he said, 'I started working as a sweeper for them, and I didn't really understand what work they were doing. I would clean the floors and the washrooms, after which I would get tea for the people working in the sound and editing studio. I looked at their work and realised that whatever work they were doing was very interesting, and I wouldn't leave for several days sometimes; I was never bored.' He added, 'Since that day, I have never left the industry or looked back.' Utekar also spoke about his dedication to every task, mentioning that he washed cars with complete sincerity and was even praised by his boss for his thorough toilet cleaning. To make ends meet, he took on various odd jobs such as selling popcorn and newspapers. Persistence and Opportunity Utekar shared that upon learning about Sahara's plan to establish a studio in the city, he made it a point to visit the location daily, patiently waiting by the gate. After three months of this routine, a man finally stopped his car and asked why he was lingering there. 'I was waiting for someone to get of their car and ask me this question,' Utekar recalled. When he requested to begin work the following day, the man surprised him by saying, 'Can you start today?' Career Growth and Directorial Success Laxman launched his career assisting acclaimed cinematographer Binod Pradhan , working on notable films like 'Dear Zindagi', 'Hindi Medium', and '102 Not Out'. He made his directorial debut with the Marathi film 'Taapal' in 2014 and has since directed successful Bollywood movies including 'Luka Chuppi', 'Mimi', and 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke'.

Will she get to know about Jhanak's pregnancy? And most importantly, will she be able to assist? As has already been observed after knowing about Jhanak's critical condition, Mimi will break the news to Aniruddha that Jhanak is dead. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Has Honda Done It Again?
