I think I might be allergic to pomegranates
It's weird. Last night after little brother's gradustion, we all went to Ben & Jerry's for celebratory ice cream. I wanted to be "good" so I got a smoothie instead...the berry nice one. That was around 9:30. I didn't notice anything weird except for maybe a slightly scratchy throat (although that also could have been because I boohooed over this blog where the mom lost the baby to a birth defect)
Anyway, this morning I woke up and my lips were HUGE. I'm talking if Scarlet Johansson and Angelia Joliet had a baby huge. And they felt all weird and a little tingly. So I looked up the ingredients and there is pomegranate juice in the smoothie. That is is only thing I can thing of in the last 24 hours that I have eaten that I haven't had before.
I thought maybe I was crazy, but I Dr. Googled it and it is a real thing. It looks like if that is what it is, it was a super mild reaction, which is good, but still.
Re: I think I might be allergic to pomegranates
Im sorry about that.
This reminded me of Monster In Law with Jennifer Lopez lol
Blog
I laughed picturing Scarlett and Angelina's baby
That's crazy. Is there any way to find out for sure if that is what you are allergic to? I agree that it's not the worst thing to be allergic to because pomegranate should be fairly easy to avoid. Hopefully you are feeling better now.
I could probably go have an allergy test done, but it hardly seems worth it since it is easily avoidable anyway.
Honestly the worst part is that after the swelling went down I noticed there were tons of tiny water blisters all over my lips. Ick! It's getting better but my lips feel kinda sand papery when I rub them together.
