Scariest Reaction So Far

Jul 31, 2008 13:07

 I just had an allergic reaction to an alfredo sauce that scared the hell out of me.  First my tongue started to tingle and I brushed it off.  Then, my nose and sinuses started to close up and I was suddenly very congested.  The back of my throat started itching and I was coughing a lot.  I quickly took some Benadryl and the symptoms disappeared within about 20 minutes.

That really, really scared me.

When I bought the sauce, I read the ingredients and made a really bad decision.  Near the bottom, "spices" was listed.  I thought, "Who would put mustard seed in alfredo sauce?"  Bad, BAD decision.

I want to create mustard-free sauces, dressings, and condiments and write a downloadable cookbook that contains information about mustard allergy.  I don't have a clue how to even begin to do something like this but I know there are families around the world who need this.  I read every friggin' salad dressing label at the store and every one of them listed either "spices," "rapeseed," and/or "Canola oil."

What do you think?
