Ignorance!!
Everybody knows it's when An and Phyl are at it using kiwi fruit and it's a shock when you see it.

Geez that sounds serious - hope you're OK now. Do you know why it happened? Can't say that's ever happened to me.
You didn't try to eat it whole did you? (Sorry couldn't resist that!)

This should explain it better. My daughter got stung by a wasp yesterday and slightly reacted to it. But Anaphylactic shock only happens after u have been bitten twice by a wasp. Only female wasps will sting. Males are always in the 's however only sting once before dying.
Anaphylactic shock can happen to anyone and those who have reacted before normally carry a antidote in a pen form to treat themselves before the condition gets serious ie: Swelling of the throat, rash, tongue swelling up etc.
Seen it happen to other people but never had the problem myself. Youngest daughter reacted badly to a peanut butter sandwich which closed her airways at an alarming speed and left her gasping for breathe, although a quick shot in the arm at A&E put her right just as quickly. We also have a friend that carries some tablets with her (could'nt tell you what they are) as she suffers anaphylactic shock or something similar, after certain insect stings and bites.

it is not that common with fruit.... but is very common now with people and nuts....
if you have noticed that a lot of food on it now has the label "may contains nuts" that is the reason why........

Mrs easy can't eat kiwi fruit either. She ate a little piece a few years ago and her lips started to tinge and swell really badly, so she spit it out. Never touched any since.

Ain't that the American word for adrenalin?

I'll take that as a yes then. lol
I would check out the family of fruit it belongs to and maybe avoid them too. These things often are triggered at anytime, and lucky you were able to sort it out. NOT funny when it happens to you or you see it happen to someone you love.
*Runs over to MrEasy n slaps him one* Thats a different kind of shock for ya LOL. Boy...i feel better now biggrin
