There are some who might not consider this "comical".... I quote:
"Egg allergy is one of the most common food allergies in children, second only to milk allergy. Symptoms of an egg allergy reaction can range from mild, such as hives, to severe, such as anaphylaxis. Therefore, it is advised the people with egg allergy have quick access to an epinephrine auto-injector (such as an EpiPen®, Auvi-Q® or Adrenaclick®) at all times. To prevent a reaction, strict avoidance of egg and egg products is essential. Always read ingredient labels to identify egg ingredients. Most children eventually outgrow an allergy to egg.
"While the whites of an egg contain the allergenic proteins, patients with an egg allergy must avoid all eggs completely. This is because it is impossible to separate the egg white completely from the yolk, causing a cross-contact issue."

I saw this once—only once—and that was enough. It was pretty scary. So, better to ask the question!
