@FreddieUK I've never had a reaction to anything other than penicillin & the red dye on some OTC headache meds. Never any detergents, soaps, fabrics, etc. But I've had a serious reaction to something this time & the only thing I've done differently is eat those lemon cookies...

@MellyMel22 I think it might be the citrus mixing with my meds & causing a reaction. I haven't eaten any citrus at all since starting the new meds so that's my theory.

@Tumbleweed It’s good you have an idea.

If you have Benadryl or ANY allergy medication in the house, take it NOW.
Also, save the ingredients panel from the lemon cookies, if you have the package in your house.
"In store-bought lemon cookies, the following ingredients could potentially cause allergic reactions:
Soybeans: Commonly used in baking, they can trigger allergies in individuals sensitive to soy.
Gluten: Found in wheat, rye, and barley, it can cause reactions in those with gluten sensitivities.
Eggs: Often used in recipes, they can be a source of egg allergies.
Tree Nuts: Such as almonds and walnuts, which can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
Sesame Seeds: Added to some recipes, they are recognized as a major allergen."
FDA
It's important to read ingredient labels carefully to avoid these allergens if you have a food allergy.

@pdockal I've gone over & over it in my mind & cat scratch fever caught my attention but the scratches aren't red, itchy or swollen. All I can come up with is the lemon cookies.

@smileylovesgaming I bought them already packaged. It's the ones like oreos but they're lemon. I'm thinking the citrus mixed with my meds & caused a reaction.
