I don't chew gum as a rule, but I bought a pack of gum yesterday. Well, last night I popped two sticks in my mouth and started to chew. WRONG!!!!
I am extremely allergic to cocoanut and palm oils or any products with them in it -soap -cream etc;
So I went straight to the ER. By the time I got there- about a 5 minute drive, I had swollen up to look like I weighed 300 pounds, and I'm only 120 pounds. Then started having trouble breathing.
So after 4 shots of Steroids and 3 other shots and breathing oxygen for about 2 hours, I was finally able to come home. Spent all night very uncomfortable.
I should be ashamed, I have lived with this my whole life and yet I didn't read the ingredients in a product I never used before. Shame on me....Death by Gun...I couldn't stop laughing, but it wasn't funny.
I just can't believe I did this!! So if you are allergic to anything, please make sure that everyone knows it. Write it down and keekp it with your licence. If the allergy is severe tape a not to the dashboard of your car. Keep a not of it on you bed side stand or someplace where a stranger or an EMT would find it in case you are unable to speak.
