Allergic.

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

Just now I ate Singaporean Laksa from the Secret Recipe. It was full with dried-shrimp, shrimp and fish cakes. Also a few tofu. After finishing the laksa, I waited for 30 minutes to see what. As I expected, I got allergy. Of course it was because of the shrimps. So, I took a tablet of Clarityne.

People always asked me me how to know whether we are allergy to certain foods? Well, the only answer I can give is we never know until we try it. After you try the food, if you got a few symptoms, then you are allergy to the food.

Sneeze, nose blockage, red eyes, swollen all over the face or maybe at the lips or eyes, itchy eyes, hardly breathing, those are some of the symptoms I had during allergy reaction. Luckily it was not fatal.

So, if you want to know whether you are allergy to any thing, you just have to try it first, and be prepared with anti-histamine pill. But I don't suggest this method because we never know what kind of reaction you might have. Different person will have different reactions. Anaphylactic shock is the worse because it can cause death.

Therefore, be careful with what you eat. Eat healthy food and if you got the allergy symptoms, it is better to avoid the food. You don't want to get the allergy reaction. Oooo...you don't. It's not fun at all.
