Corn is actually one of the top 10 allergens (as are strawberries and eggs!). It's so frustrating to have a reaction and not know what caused it (as I well know!). But I must say your emergency services sound a lot more efficient than ours over here (12 hour wait for my hubby to see someone).Rickihttp://dietdessertndogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-81277154479962777242010-02-06T00:47:22.456+11:002010-02-06T00:47:22.456+11:00Ack!

I'm glad Sylvia is OK, but sorry she can't have any more of those yummy sounding burgers.<br /><br />I have read a theory of allergy that while some foods are OK on their own, particular combinations of things can be problematic for certain people, so for example eggs might be fine, and zucchini might be fine, but eggs + zucchini might not be.<br /><br />I hope you can find out what's behind it all.Kathleenhttp://shangri-la-giff.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
