That reminds me of somethin else. You ever hear that if you eat a poisen ivy bud the week that it pops, that you'll be immune to it for the rest of the year?
prentice,
Yup.
Prepare for rectal Bleeding, and possible death if ya do it though.
Dibs on your saws!!!
I tested positive for allergys to Walnut and reacted pretty hard with the Hives previously.
I generally just get an athsma trigger when cutting the stuff though.
Tightness in the chest/wheezing, and light headedness.
Benedryl will choke things down though, and if I don't forget to take the Zyrtec I generally don't react much.
If you're gettin' blisters, you are reacting HARD and need to see an allergist and get tested/ treated, and a script for an Epi-Pen.
Anaphalaxis is very possible from exposures that result in such reactions, and that is NOT fun!
Trust me on this as I found out the hard way, and woke up with the nurse holding the paddles.
In the meantime, keep some benedryl handy. The capsules are fastest if you crunch 'em and dump the powder on the tongue.
Tastes like crap, but slows the reaction down to buy time getting to the ER. Just remember how many ya crunched and dosage, cuz they will hit you with more Benedryl in the ER and ask about it before they do.
Stay safe!
