I had planned the festive season with military precision to protect myself from any food contamination issues. But with 101 family members all in the kitchen, touching, tweaking and tasting dishes, it was a case of too many cooks spoil the broth – and the inevitable allergy flare up happened.
All was well on the run-up to the big day. I had even planned our work’s Christmas night out at a place that could cater for my tricky eating needs. I had also summoned up all the will power in the world to abstain from snacking on the mountains of dairy-ladened chocolates in the office and had informed my mother that I would be cooking my own Christmas dinner. But, alas, on Boxing Day, I woke to find both my eyes extremely puffy, swollen and red, my skin tight, itchy and very dry – I knew straight away something had gone wrong.
But that is not all, a recent study in the USA showed that in a period of time will enhance your libido and help in curing cancer at warp speed. cialis tablets 20mg So, the rumor on Kamagra is not valid after the detailed study on cialis overnight and Kamagra.

My poor mum kept apologising (for what, she did not know) and family members all looked shocked and sheepish – how could this have happened and who was to blame? After lining them up for interrogation, I was non the wiser on what had caused my reaction, but all the usual suspects had been present in the kitchen that day: wheat, dairy and nuts. I can only conclude that a rogue contaminated tasting or stirring spoon was the culprit.
The funny thing is that a few years ago I was living with (or enduring) these kinds of symptoms – puffy, watery eyes, swollen sinuses, dry blotchy skin and itching – on a daily basis. But after working out the foods that do not agree with me and eliminating them from my diet, it seems that when I do have a flare up, it is pretty intense for 24 hours but then luckily disappears, leaving me physically drained but mentally wiser. My family is also now very much the wiser as to how easily food can get contaminated.
2016 will now go down in history as the year that someone (unsuspectingly) tried to poison me. I guess we will laugh about it next year!
