Experience on Food Allergy

Tweet

It's still so vivid on my mind. We ate at a nearby resort with colleagues..we ordered local and exotic sea foods of varied types. Of course, I over ate. After a day, I started to itch...had hardness of breathing...and my body seemed to swell and was red all over...it was terrible. I was rushed to the hospital where the doctor gave me shots for food allergy. Because my fingers were really swollen, the doctor had to cut-saw my wedding ring as it got stuck on my finger. I even had difficulty breathing! From that time on, I swear that I will never experiment eating sea foods which are the rare ones--big lobsters, rare species of fish, etc. In a matter of four days, I was responding well to the medications, but I learned a hard lesson: I am allergic to seafoods when taken in large quantities. Today, I just eat very little of shrimps, etc. Anyone who has experienced food allergies? Please share...Fellow mylotters would surely learn from you...
