And turns out you can develop immunity, but it's not a pleasant process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h90rEkbx95w

reminds me of

Should you be eating poison oak? Probably not. But Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz decided to try anyway, putting his body — and specifically his butt — on the line to answer a seemingly straightforward question: Is it possible to build up a tolerance to poison oak by eating it?

Yt has been constantly suggesting that vid to me, I was afraid to click it in case I got stuck in an "alternative medicine" algorithm hole.

Would be interesting to know if the effect lasts, or if its just temporary.

I'm guessing if you keep consuming milk products then the gut biome will stay adapted.

I haven't watched the video, but when I was younger I started developing an intolerance. I always eat a bowl of cereal in the morning, and at that time, about an hour later while I was driving in to work I started getting gut-wrenching cramps every day. Stopped eating the cereal and it immediately went away. That was all fine & dandy, but after several years of not eating breakfast at all I decided to hell with it and started working on it again on the weekends. However I'm guessing something else must have also changed because it didn't really take that long to get back to eating it regularly again, and I haven't stopped since.
