blergh.
Here I was, minding my own business, having lunch composed of all good stuff I've eaten tons before, when I feel all the annoying sighs of an allergic reaction. Not a big one, only itchy lips that are a bit red at the corners of my mouth, but still, it's a pain in the ass. Cause I start to worry about it, and that only serves to make it worse. Took some benadryl, my trusty companion, but still, fuuuuuuck. It's either the dijon mustard or the red pepper. Considering I've had that mustard before, in droves, it might be something as annoying as some sort of pesticide on the pepper cause I might not have washed it enough. Bleh. Still, it's always fun to play the worry game.
I'm perfectly fine now, itchiness and redness all gone, but the worry remains.
I hate my body.
*hugs* glad your feeling better *hugs*

I'm sorry… I can sorta relate (see: squash of doom) I know how the worry makes these things worse… yours is garlic right? good god, I cannot imagine!
I only have to worry in mexican, italian and french restaurants..mostly..
do you carry an epipen? my allergist suggests it but it's pricey, and for the most part I can avoid zucchini aka: deathfruit

Pesticide? Hell's bells, Richard, that BITES!

I'm not sure it's even that. My sandwich had bread, cheese, roast beast, peppers and mustard. All stuff I've had before. I don't know where this one came from, hence the fact I'm really quite happy about it.

yes, I do carry an epipen but touch wood *knock*knock* I've never had to use it so far.
As for today, I have no clue what brought it on, so ya, I'm happy right now.

I am, because benadryl is my friend. I'm going to be fine, don't worry about it.
