Could you be allergic to chilli powder?

I've taken inhalers and have just now, taken an antihistamine. My breathing is laboured though. Could I be having a reaction?

Too early to tell.

Op if you are having a medical issue for Jebus sake, contact a doctor etc.

Could you be allergic to chilli powder? Perhaps. Perhaps not.

I'd say it's more likely to be a bad reaction to the crystal meth that the chilli powder was added to.

You'll be delighted to hear that the antihistamine (coupled with a wee bit more of me crystal meth) has calmed the breathing and swollen face.

You can have a capsaicin allergy, the stuff pepper spray is made from, derived from chilli. They sometimes give you stuff for nerve pain made from it and you can react to it.

In other words: this could be a thing, maybe you should go to a doctor.

I think you need your tongue amputated. I'm sure there are some videos on youtube you can use as a guide

Makes sense. I'm allergic to sheep, lambs, wool, lanolin, cats, dogs, dog hair, cat hair, pollen, hay, grass, dust............ Why not add chilli to the mix.

Oh and augmentin and various other medicines they tried out on me in hospital. I actually took an allergic reaction to the epidural while I was having a c-section! I nearly scratched my eyes out with itch!!!
