tylikPhoo. Unless I am quite mistaken, I seem to be having an allergic reaction (mouth and throat itchy, sore, and slightly blistered) to something I ate. The candidates seem to be Tinkyada tri-colored rice pasta (Tinkyada rice pasta is a household staple, but the tri-colored bit I could live without - then again, spinach, tomato or carrot powder?), capers, or pine nuts.
Since I already have a (minor, mostly) allergy to hazelnuts and almonds, the pine nuts seem to be the most likely culprit. Except I don't like that explanation at all. (And... having the hazlenut and almond cross reaction to birch pollen allergen isn't the same thing as a real tree nut allergy... right? *hits the literature* Darn. Huh. Okay, usually oral allergy syndrome is pretty small potatoes in comparison, but it's not supposed to include skin or asthmatic reactions. And my allergies have been so well behaved since I went off of milk, too...)
