So I had an allergic reaction in the cinema...

I was eating nachos with their three sauces, cheese, salsa and guacamole and a side of jalapeños.
Half way through my nose started running so I thought it was the spice.

But my throat felt close and I started to cough a little.

My left arm started to itch and I had a mini rash appear.

I got hot and suddenly felt the panic setting in.

A few seconds later I remembered I have my nasal antihistamine in my makeup bag.

I took too sprays per nostril and monitored my pulse and rash.

Very quickly my airways opened back up, and the rash felt less itchy.

I flooded my system with the last of the water I had.

I currently have one visible bump from the rash and the redness has cleared...

Scaryyy!

Whoa! Do you know what was it exactly that triggered the reaction?

@SubstantialKick I think the jalapeños.
I'm not great with spicy food as it is but I think whatever liquid they sit in. Either that or the salsa as it was slightly different to the regular stuff.

It's hard to tell, because unless you prepare the food you just don't know what's going into it.
