Quick take a picture and then pop some benadryl

I'm actually kinda scared now....look what I just read:

What are the possible side effects of ginger?

Although uncommon, allergic reactions to ginger have been reported. Stop taking ginger and seek emergency medical attention if you experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction including difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives.

You wouldn't think so!! I don't recall ever eating a gingersnap cookie before....and on top of that, it wasn't even any good!!

The feeling in my face is coming back now and my tongue doesn't feel as swollen now....but it's numb!!

Since it is going away, they are just "hovering" now!!

We called the Dr. and he said to just keep an eye on it and if the symptoms worsen go the Emergency Room!!

Good grief....this could only happen to me!!:(

You too? I can take ampicillian or penicillan, but not amoxicillan. Makes all my joints and the palms of my hands start itching.
