I have just had a horrible allergic reaction to ........something.
I went to my friend's for a cup of tea and a chat and afterwards went shopping. On my way home, in the car, my forehead started to itch and by the time I got home my forehead was covered with red wheals. Then, my arms started to itch and weals began appearing on my arms. By the time I got through the door, I was almost screaming with irritation. I dropped the shopping, took an antihistamine tablet and jumped in the shower. Mr T thought I'd gone bonkers.
It's all calmed down now all my clothes are in the washing basket and dinner is cooking. I feel a bit sleepy though.
PS. I'm allergic to Lidl! Or, it's my new Max Factor foundation. Who knows?
Tilly if you are allergic to tree pollen, the following trees can be nasty for you in March. Hazel, Yew, Alder, Elm, Willow, Poplar, and Birch. There is a little graph showing the times of tree pollen for different trees in the link below.
Not Elderflower, DTC. That came after the reaction. Elderflower cordial is not to blame.
I will not find out what it is or was. That's why I always have a supply of cetirizine antihistamine in the house. This has happened to me on a regular basis.
just teasing about the elderflower, cordial that this is as a drink......it may take a specialist to find out - or a direct incident where you can identify what comes in contact with you and causes the discomfort....... x
