How Did Mel Blanc the Voice of Bugs Bunny Deal With Being Allergic To Carrots?

March 19, 2020 by Karen Hill

Mel Blanc was very allergic to carrots.

He says he tried apples and celery and all sorts of alternatives to get the sound just right, but nothing worked as well as carrots did.

So he chewed carrots when he needed to, spitting them out and watching for signs of anaphylactic shock.
