Rough thought that I should try to polish up and write:

I nearly died on Tuesday from accidentally eating something I'm allergic to. It takes an exceptional amount of vigilance, hypervigilance even, to avoid when an allergen is so incredibly common as mine is.

I think about that whenever I see something that boils down to a demand for individual vigilance, whether that's victim blaming about sexual harassment, just don't write bugs in your code, or make sure to follow the news closely enough.
