Food allergies vs diet restrictions?!
If she didn't bother at all to mention what her allergies or restrictions were ahead of time, does she have any right to yell at me for supposedly trying to kill her by fixing Thanksgiving dinner? The fruit salad in question contained pineapple that she now says she has always been allergic to (but never mentioned this prior) that was mixed in so it was in every bite. She claims she had several helpings and never once tasted it and wanted to take some leftovers home with her. Then somehow overnight, she discovered that there was pineapple in the entire salad, at which point, she threatened to call the cops on me with an attempted murder charge since I should have known better. I honestly had no idea this was an issue, so is it me or she going overboard with this?
Answers: I know a woman who does not realize these are two completely different things. Her list of each is so long that it's a wonder she's able to eat anything. At the same time, she doesn't have all the lights on upstairs.

I am assuming she is an adult, therefore, knows how to take care of herself. So are you responsible, no you are not responsible.
Is she over reacting? I feel she is over reacting and may be looking for more attention.
As for the pineapple, if she is allergic to pineapple then it is her choice not to eat the fruit salad. I think this goes back to the age old question "Did somebody force you?"
The logical answer to this question would be no, nobody forced her to eat the salad. She had a choice and she made a wrong decision. Now she is the one to pay the consequences not you.
She sounds unstable and manipulative. I have a long list of dietary restrictions and allergies, but I'd never threaten someone like that. I always look at the food before deciding to eat it, and if I get sick later, I realize I shouldn't have eaten it. What a mean and CRAZY lady you had at Thanksgiving!
IF she has never told you that she was allergic to pineapple, then you are responsible for what she eats, many fruit salads have pineapple in them, she is an adult, she cannot expect others to protect her when she is not herself vigilant in what she eats. IF you are and have been aware she is not stable, then I would definately not put yourself in a position where she could sue you, in otherwords, do not invite her on your property again. In fact, I would severe my friendship with her permanently, she just aint worth it honey.
