That is a horrible affliction, but it occurs in
varying severities. Breaking out in hives would be 
annoying, but it can be gotten past. Some, I'm told,
get anaphylaxis (with throat and windpipe closure), 
but I might risk it with Benadryl at my side. In 
addition, red nonmammal meats such as duck and ostrich 
have not so far been implicated, so that's another 
possible avenue of substitution.

That looks quite standard, but with the soup mix,
it would seem that the MSG was redundant.
