@@adog3336 Totally 100% I have a friend that has been taking that same shot since spring of 2023 and she is just wrecked for 2weeks. There’s no chance of her going back to work. She got Gen. 1 Covid in the summer of 2020. Hasn’t really ever recovered from the side effects. I sure wish she never started taking the medication that you can spell and I cannot.

I had Covid-19 in 2020 and just days after I recovered, I was hospitalized for 3 months because my white blood cell count went through the roof and they were attacking all of my cells. After 3 months of the worst pain imaginable and doctors not understand what was causing it, I was too weak to eat, so I just didn't eat for about 4 days and then all my symptoms went away. Then the doctors sent me home thinking everything was okay. I came home and had a big meal and just 2 hours later I was once again feeling pain in every single cell in my body. It was worse than ever and I had to be hospitalized once again. Right away I saw a link between eating and getting these symptoms because it had stopped once I stopped eating and it started just hours after eating again. I decided to not eat for a few days again while I was hospitalized and like clockwork I was feeling perfectly fine just 4 days later once again. This scared me because if I can't eat, I can't live. And if eating meant I would be in that much pain, why would I want to live? So I told my doctor about the connection between eating and getting the symptoms. He said to me that he didn't share that idea at all and that I was looking in the wrong direction and that I should let him do the doctoring. I was sent back home again and this time I decided to keep fasting for a week and during that week I felt absolutely fine. So I decided to start experimenting to see which foods were causing the reaction. Day #1: I ate salmon and I didn't get any symptoms. Day #2: I ate pork and I didn't get any symptoms. Day #3: I ate rice and this time I was sent right back to the hospital. Waited a few days and was sent back home and the doctor once again didn't test for anything new, but just ran the same tests he had done 20 times before and said that he believed I was a hypochondriac that was triggering a severe white blood cell release with the placebo effect and that he could recommend me a psychiatrist. I didn't ever want to see my doctor again, so I started testing only a TINY amount of the food to see if the symptoms would be milder. And they were! So I tested every possible food you could imagine over the next 6 months and the ONLY food I could eat without getting severe headaches, bloodshot eyes and bloody stool, was meat. Any type of meat, fish, chicken or other animal. I could also eat pure oils. I just couldn't eat carbohydrates. NONE of them. After being in constant pain from experimenting to find the foods I couldn't eat for those 6 months, I stopped experimenting and just ate meat for a whole year. My intestines healed a lot during those 365 days and I thought I was ready to see if something had changed with this "allergy" or whatever it was. I tried eating some rice and then I just waited... Oh my God, was this the longest day and night of my life. I was so scared that the symptoms would come back, because I knew just how insanely painful it was. But nothing happened... Not even a little headache. I waited 24 hours before celebrating and then I remember looking at myself in the bathroom mirror and just crying for like 30 minutes. "I can eat rice..." I kept saying over and over while tears were falling down my face. Fast forward to today and I just can't eat gluten or milk protein, but everything else is fine. My milk protein allergy is getting better over time since I started taking a double dose of probiotics. Still don't have an official diagnosis and if I ever decide to get one, I will go to a private specialist in gastrointestinal problems and autoimmune disorders. I don't expect anyone to read this, but if you do, thank you. Take care.

I'm not an immunologist. Once certain illnesses occur like chickenpox, you have immunity for life. Others like german measles, well I had that twice. I assume I have lifetime immunity from measles and mumps which I had as a child before there were vaccines, and for things I was vaccinated for like smallpox, whooping cough, and polio. Some vaccines give immunity for a limited time like tetanus and covid I suppose. I don't know about shingles. I get a flu shot every year for the latest common variant. Once when I was young and going to live abroad, I got three vaccines at once. I passed out in a chair next to the doctor's desk. Next think I knew he had my head between my legs and was tapping the back of my neck. When I came to he gave me a shot of brandy.

I do think it is good she was willing to give you preventative treatment right away- will never understand refusal to do this- however leery about the choice of Cipro. They say there is less risk if the tick was not attached too long and careful to remove the mouth parts (kind of hard), so your chances of being harmed, even disabled, may have been higher from that specific type of antibiotic! Look at the FDA website and see why they say Cipro (and all antibiotics of that same class) should not be used unless there is no other option. There is another class used with tick bites and in chronic conditions that helps in other ways, like with inflammation, and preventative dosing sometimes used after exposure. Of course it is always risk vs benefit with any med but seems too often overlooked, uninformed. This one really gets to me because what average person would ever suspect an antibiotic could do that type damage? Some have it happen and don't make the connection to even mention when they go in for the new problem and it is not realized- so we can't know the true chance of the adverse effect to happen. Yet, they know enough that the med requires REMS, black boxes and legal med guides (not just the printoff info generally given). I don't think MedGuides are a sufficient enough strategy (except for the companies liability maybe, not for warning and protecting patients), at least how they are used-or not used- currently.

Great video! Originally I came from the state of Rhode Island. In the early 80's I contracted Lyme's Disease and treatments and effects were in their infancy. I was 32 years old and developed multiple debilitating symptoms and even the rheumatologists were diagnosing me with early onset arthritis. I suffered for three years and finally properly diagnosed when moving to Florida. I still suffer from residual damage sometimes making it difficult. I also developed Alpha Gal with severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and more. The doctors pretty much told me I was crazy and no one believed my reaction to eating land animals so I was left to my own devices to figuring it out by eating rice only and adding one food to my diet daily. I became a vegan and never had another problem. I was so excited years later they finally discovered it was Alpha Gal. I wasn't crazy! To this day I live on a plant based diet and at 67 have no plans of changing😊

I'm a 76 year old male living in rural Oklahoma. Several years ago I developed an allergy to red meat and this explains a lot. I can eat small quantities of red meat today, but for several years I was unable to tolerate red meat. I have been active in the outdoors and have experienced several tick bites over the years. I now use insect repellants whenever I go into areas prone to ticks. Thank you for a very informative video.

He said it with a smile on his face like an evil villain from a movie. Becoming allergic to meat would be a death sentence for me. I have gastro paresis. My stomach is paralyzed. That means most veg and many fruits, all nuts are out for me as they can easily cause bezoars as I can’t digest them properly. Not to mention they make me extremely ill when I eat them. Meat is my main diet as it’s soft, full of protein and I have no issues eating it at all. Hardly anyone pays attention to what the crazies at WEF say, so nobody knows about this, but it’s on this platform from earlier this year. If I find it again, and the link is allowed I’ll post it as a reply.

I did guess the diagnosis in less than a minute, but I had personal experience with this. I am an RN and my husband was the patient. We had gone hiking and my husband got a tick on his leg, which I recognized as a Lone Star Tick. Living in New York State, seeing these was not uncommon and I removed it. We later went to the ER where we got the full "riot act." NO MAMMALIAN MEAT for a year--minimum. Luckily we removed the tick before he ever got an anaphylactic reaction and his diet was prophylactically changed to eliminate mammalian meat (beef, lamb, pork or venison, etc.) for 18 months to give the antigens time to be eliminated. My husband was fortunately able to have meat that was of the bird, fish, reptilian (alligator) and amphibians (frogs and turtles) so he wasn't going to be starved. At the 18 month mark, we got my husband an appointment with the allergist, who gave us an 8AM appointment and told us to bring a 6 ounce piece of beef (he chose a medium rare ribe-eye) to the appointment where he could eat it and we waited until 5PM to see if he had any anaphylactic reaction while they waited with epinephrine and oxygen. He said he felt like he was playing Russian Roulette as he ate his steak. We went home at 6PM ready to re-start his life on beef.

My husband had this. He was in the Army reserves and must have been bitten by a tick during summer camp in Georgia. It was about 14 years ago before anyone really knew about it. Even the allergist was surprised that he was allergic to red meat. My poor husband almost cried at the thought of no more juicy steaks. The first signs were itching and a severe rash.

Thank you for this warning: meat is one of the few things I'm still able to eat, so I'm definitely going to avoid ticks as far as possible in the future. I am very prone to allergies. When people ask me what allergies I have, the shortest answer is: "half of the periodic table". I am even allergic to every antibiotic I've been given in the last 25 years (both penicilin, and the generic ones) and some fruits and vegtables , including glutin: When I eat starchy foods, I get starch crystals in my blood, and I start to get allergic reations towards water in the form of aquagenic pruritus, which is a sensatinon of millions of itchy needle pricks all over my body for up to an hour after getting any kind of moisture on my skin, including my own sweat, rain, sea water swimming pool water, tap water, and sometimes extreme humidity. This reaction to water only goes away when I avoid starch for more than three weeks. I sometimes wonder if it could perhaps be the yeast in the starchy foods instead of the starch itself. I love watermelon, but even the smell of it makes my throat swell inside, although processed fruits, such as water melon jam (I suppose it's called jelly or jello in the US) does nothing to me. I also contracted limes disease twelve years ago from tick bite fewer. During the last year I've been on the carnivore diet, eating mainly venison (I live in Sout Africa), and I gradually got less hungry to a point where I only eat once a day. I do eat fish occasionally as well as beef, although I cannot handle the smell of pultry or eggs, and I avoid pork because it gives me carbuncles. I regularly cheat on the diet because of food which friends and familly offfer me and these usually give me severe sugar drops shortly afterwards. But I still give in due mainly to my sweet tooth and also me being too self-concious to cause a scene. Many of my other issues improve as long as I stick to the the diet, such as sleap apnea, panic attacks (I have ptsd), acid reflux, concentration, stress and lameness. My knees started to go lame when I was 32 in 2007, and the rest of my body gradually followed, forcing me to abandon hard labour, bicycling, hiking, golf and even avoiding staircases - this goes away after a week of strict carnivore dieting, but comes back when I go back to the temptations of pastries. I do process my meat myself, getting carcases from a friend who does game harvesting, and the skin on my hands are showing allergic reactions when I work with the meat, but I do not get skin reactions (nor cardio/respritory/digestive reactions) from eating the meat. A friend of mine has the same skin issues on her hands when she works with meat and told me it is due to another disease associated with tick-bite, for which I have not been officially diagnosed, called "Rickettsia".

When I was 6 or 7 I began having attacks of anaphylaxis. Two things about my reactions stand out: nobody ever pinned-down what was causing them, and they all happened after I had gone to sleep (after midnight) which fits the 8-hour post-dinner delay. This was happening at least once per month. I'm over 70 now, so the problem has passed, but this video might be an eye-opener. Thank you.

Started some research. Bought a coloidal silver kit. Recommend that we use it very fresh, less than 7 days old. Made light medium yellow coloidal silver. Took 2 oz.immediately, as I self prescribed for a 7 day challenge. At minute 20 i felt the Lime Disease die. I kept my challenge week. Also died was a heart fungus that causes vertical dark blood clot lines in the fingernails. Eventually reexposure to someoned pet dogs made the heart one return, so retreating now.

Love this coverage. I have alpha gal. When I tell people about it they look at me like I have 3 heads and I'm telling tall tales. Some of the symptoms post exposure mimic rheumatological conditions so early on I was seeing a rheumatologist. After my DX with alph gal I told her about it so we could make sure my meds were safe but she said she doesn't believe in tick born illness but if it makes me feel better to avoid beef and pork she supports that.

I know several people with Alpha-Gal. Apparently we live in ‘ground zero’ for it. Some people have it for a while and get over it; some people never do. And it varies in severity. Some people can tolerate dairy and gelatin ingredients in cooked foods. Others can’t even have traces of mammalian protein ingredients. I’m terrified of it because I have a pig valve in my heart.

I appreciate the account of the diagnostic process and the step by step explanations of test results and physical symptoms. Dr. Deshauer and other young physicians are sharing a lot of great medical information. Thank you!

My brother contracted this around 2000. Similar experience, though his was diagnosed as an unknown anaphylaxis. Didn't know what it was until about 2020. Given an epi-pen RX to use if he contacted the allergen again. Had to use it a few times and be hospitalized a few times before making the connection (beef). We're from SC. Living in the middle of nowhere, in the woods, obviously we had tick bites occasionally. Thankfully, after moving to Connecticut a few years ago, his levels have dropped and he's able to eat a very small amount of beef without a reaction, and his levels continue to drop. Hopefully, he can be free of this in the next few years.

I knew the answer instantly, as I developed Alpha Gal in 1985. I figured out the meat connection after a second episode of severe nausea/ vomiting following a meal with red meat & was relieved to finally learn, in 2010, what it was. Earlier that year a neighbor gave us buffalo he raised which I thought might be OK since it wasn't "factory farmed", my first red meat in 25 years. I awoke during the night covered with hives & swollen lips. I live in a rural area in middle Tennessee & ticks are just part of life here. At least people stopped accusing me of just being neurotic about my diet & many of them now know at least one other person with Alpha Gal.

I have a daughter-in-law with this condition. It is a living hell. It restricts her socially and the condition is very unpredictable. In my own case I am allergic to all eggs, fish, fowl, legumes, some seeds, avocados, and nuts (anaphylaxis). Also, beer and wine contain allergens for me as well. My main trigger was a case of mononucleosis and a severe bacterial infection when I was a teenager. I’ve dealt with this condition for over 50 years - almost died three times. Many people do not believe that food allergies exist, or try to ‘test’ people by surreptitiously placing allergens in food. Do not ever do that. The only good news is that my experience with food allergies came in handy when my infant son became ill. I was able to immediately determine it was an allergic reaction and got him to the hospital in time. He is allergic to dairy products and never grew out of it. He’s over 30 years-old. Fortunately his children show no allergies and everyone is paying attention.

I kept having episodes where I was insanely itchy. It came and went over and over. I saw an allergist, got allergy tested and was told I didn't have any allergies that explained it. I was told to see an endocrinologist, which didn't help so I just dealt with the misery. About 2 years later, a different doctor tested me for Alpha-Gal out of the blue (I wasn’t super itchy at that point) and I had all the Alpha-Gal markers. I went back to a picture of a tick that had bitten me and zoomed in (it was a super tiny tick.) Sure enough, it had that white dot and was a Lone Star tick. This happened in North Carolina. If you are super itchy and don't have any skin problems to explain it and it keeps coming and going...consider Alpha-Gal!! Sure am glad my case wasn’t more severe. The itchiness was bad enough.

Well, you are very good at making the whole scenario into an interesting drama, and I like the pics and research. Thank you.

Thanks for making this video to raise awareness of this rare but growing tick disease. Learning how to manage alpha-gal has made such a huge difference in my life.

I don't have red-meat/alpha-gal syndrome, but I have twice wound up in the ER with anaphylaxis. It's a really unpleasant, frightening experience and I don't recommend it. In my case, it was an allergy to tomatoes which are a really common ingredient in many foods. My reactions weren't as bad as the one in the video, doctors were able to bring it under control in the ER and I didn't need to be admitted but it still took days to recover and return to something like normal and I was on medication for two weeks. I carry an epi-pen but I do my best to avoid needing to use it. The last time I had a reaction that bad was in 1995 so I must be doing something right.

News Flash - you don't need a "tick bite" to be allergic to meat. When humans ingest this highly absorbable form of iron found in meat - especially on a "carnivore diet," the excess heme binds to proteins and accumulates in the liver, heart and pancreas. This causes toxicity and can cause HEART PROBLEMS, diabetes, or liver disease. This build-up of iron toxicity can also create DNA damage and oxidative stress. The flesh of a cadaver is not meant to be food for humans.

I'm fortunate enough to have an IM/Rheu just like you and it's such a treat to see her for our regular appointments (this coming week!) because she is so thorough and put my life back on track by giving me a diagnosis of Nr-axSpa/pSpa after being sent to her for out of control HBP. Her immediate concern was why did I need 2 canes to walk and I couldn't provide her with a reason other than I couldn't walk without them and my GP said I just needed more exercise and continued physio (over 2 years of 3x a week). The look on this specialist's face was truly awed me when she said "I will get to the bottom of this and get you an answer." After I left, I was a bit worried since she didn't seem to have asked anything about my BP. I think your particular specialty in medicine breeds a tenacious 'bulldog' who will not let go of a problem until they find the answer to the puzzle. Tests, tests, and more trsts and then putting all the pieces of the puzzle together for a dx! Just a big WOW!

I love listening to you! Your enthusiasm is contagious! X

I dont know why the algorithm brought me here, but I watched it all and was on the edge of my seat. Subscribed.

I know someone who developed a red meat sensitivity (no allergic anaphylaxis that I know of). She suffered arthritis symptoms and general ill heath, general swelling all over her body. She had been bitten by a deer tick in a Minnesota corn field, and when she found out that another person who had been bitten at the same time had even more extreme ill health, she figured out that her chronic problems were tick bite related. After several years of doctor visits and treating symptoms, they discovered that eliminating meat from her diet improved her condition greatly. She really struggles with cross contamination when eating out, and also the stigma that she is just "fussy" or anti-meat.

This was such a good post. I'm a landscaper in Vermont. We never ever saw ticks here but as things have gotten warmer the last 15 years especially it seems over night ticks are taking over.

Great video, love this content and the way your video was structured. Thanks!

I'm a forester with alpha-gal. I actually was already vegetarian but I react heavily to dairy and cross contamination (like a veggie burger cooked on the same grill). I knew what it was and still took a long time to get diagnosed because I thought it was only a red meat allergy.

The signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis surprised me. A doctor told me off when I said I'm allergic to the penicillin she'd prescribed (despite it being clearly stated in the records), explaining that any reactions that does not involve swelling of mouth or throat are intolerances, not allergies. She wasn't happy that I refused to continue them due to the full body rash, vomiting, diarrhoea, and asthma flare-up.

Just a note--the Lone Star tick is most active April through July. I'm in IL and it mostly affects our southern most part of the state. And there were only 34,000 cases of Alpha-Gal (from meat & ticks) reported from 2010 to 2018. In short, I won't stop eating meat or dairy due to the small chance that I'll get Alpha-Gal.

@elainekiskis2001

You don't get Alpha Gal from EATING mammal products (red meat and dairy) you get it from a tick bite. The saliva from the tick inserts an allergen into your system. THEN, a few months later after that allergen has invaded your body, if you eat anything mammal, your body reacts to the alpha gal in that food. If you stick to fish and poultry you don't have reactions because fish and poultry don't contain the alpha gal carbohydrate. Pray you never get this. It is a life altering syndrome.

Your enthusiasm is 'contagious' (a little doctor humor) Great job of explaining alpha-gal.

This now-retired endocrinologist (most of my time spent as a "bonehead" treating osteoporosis etc) greatly appreciates these presentations & discussions. Great review to jog both my remaining neurons. I came up with the diagnosis less than a minute into the presentation, but I wonder if, like other IgE-mediated allergic issues, patients with alpha-Galactosidase allergy can be "desensitized" by low-dose exposures, analagous to allergy shots, which induce the formation of IgG blocking antibody. Anybody know?

I have alpha gal aka red meat allergy. It came out of nowhere, I ate lamb and two hours latter I started feeling itchy palms, followed by hives and full blown anaphylaxis.

There has recently been a breakthrough when it comes to modulating the immune system. It's called "inverse vaccination". By tagging an antigen with GA3P and injecting it into the body, the immune system can be conditioned into accepting that antigen as harmless. This could be promising in treating autoaggressive diseases, aswell as in cases like this, where the reaction to a foreign substance was acquired.

@@captdawn AFAIK, the mechanisms differ quite significantly. Allergy desensitation tries to slowly skew the body's reaction away from a humoral response (mediated via IgE antibodies - those are the ones ultimately causing histamine release and allergy symptoms) towards a cellular one, with the main treatment effect resulting from more suppressor T-cells (CD4+) being recruited, and an antibody class switch to IgG being induced. Inverse vaccination on the other hand, tries to make the body not have a humoral response (no IgE nor IgG production) in the first place. I don't know how the rest of the signalling cascade looks, or whether it's even fully understood, but at this point in time it seems unlikely that the two approaches share a common low-level mechanism. As far as the patient is concerned, the goal is the same however: Reducing/stopping an unwanted immune response in order to alleviate symptoms. Autoaggressive diseases, i.e. from the rheumatism spectrum do have a differing aetiology to begin with though.

Even though I had a nasty, crusty, oozing, angry tick bite and kept running a fever over and over, they refused to treat me which lead to my condition becoming chronic and much more difficult to deal with. It has seriously affected my life and their ignorance just makes me so mad.

Good video. I have no medical education and had to practically self diagnose my Lyme disease a few years ago. More attention needs to be given to Tick-borne disease in North America. I used to love the outdoors and traveling the eastern USA and the risk of ticks (particularly the nymph stage which carry more disease and are almost impossible to see) really took a toll on my enjoyment of the outdoors. Lyme is a bad experience but I had a good recovery and no lingering symptoms. I am a bit of a foodie and cant imagine suddenly losing the ability to enjoy a whole branch of food like that.

I mean, I'm as tough as the next guy and let branches and other stuff scratch me up without caring, but it doesn't make me totally numb to insects burrowing into my body. I've been bushwhacking around the forests for a few years as an arborist and never had a tick actually get in me.

Wow! A very informative video presented in a concise and interesting way, I instantly liked and subscribeed, something I rarely do.

This doctor looks WAY to excited. I never saw my wife that excited, even when a patient was actively trying to die on her. Cool is smooth, smooth is fast. Getting excited clouds reason.

Honestly, it's disconcerting. It gives off the appearance of a person trying to control a manic episode. Way to intense and high strung. No way would I want that as bedside manor from a MD or any medical prof. As for the topic our immune system can create antibodies and attack almost any molecule. When it gets it seriously wrong we end up with serious diseases or death. In fact much of the chronically ill in the USA which is the overwhelmingly majority including children is related to immune and hepatic disfunction almost all from poor diet and sedentary lifestyle. Unfortunately these effects can actually ge passed on to childrrn not only from behavior and lifestyle but in actual conception passed on in the egg and sperm. If you think it's BS take some time and research health of parents at time of trying to conceive.

Ticks are very common in Central Europe, but we are mostly concerned with TBE and lyme disease. Fortunatly almost everybody here is TBE vaccinated. Do get it if you plan on visiting. I would have guessed that it is an allergic shock midway through the video, but since we don't have this syndrome here in Europe I thought about a food related allergy from some ingredients within the meat, especially the sausage. Great video, I really enjoy learning and challenging my personal confirmation bias 👍

Does the vaccine prevent one from eating red meat later?

@@cameliavera no, this vaccine has been around for decades and it would not be on the market in our meatloving country if that was the case. However, keep in mind that this is a vaccine against TBE I'm talking about here, not the same thing as that one in the video.

Unfortunately, AG has been diagnosed in the UK, Australia, Sweden, Italy and Germany. Anaphylaxis UK has a website with AG information.

​@@carieannpayne7091 I just checked, guess we are fucked here too. Never thought I would say this but I guess the meat industry lobby will save us if this becomes widespread enough and push for a cure to keep selling their products 🤣🤣🤣

Your level of energy and excitement in relating the stories makes them very watchable and entertaining. I just found myself hoping this is a persona you have developed only for the camera. I think it would be hard to be a patient facing a doctor with this high-level of energy in the examining room. But for the videos…♥️👍👍👍♥️!

Fantastic acting/dramatization and fun editing, entertaining, animated, high energy. Great job.

This was exceptionally done! Beautifully interesting information-dense. Seems like every question I had along the way was answered in due time (like "why IgE?" And "how is this a meat allergy?" "And what about the norepinephrine if he needs epinephrine?")

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hey Siobhan! Great to see you! Thanks for this very interesting topic! Thanks for always teaching us about these amazing medical conditions and how you and your colleagues go about saving us and treating us! You are an amazing doctor and teacher and I appreciate all that you do for us! Be well, be safe and Cheers!!!

That was super informative. You just popped up on my feed. Not sure how but glad you did. Pretty crazy how something so small can change your life. I'm also happy she found him in time. That's horrifying.

Really great video! Informative and fun.

This was a great episode! Thank you!😊

I love this channel, the way Dr. Shiobhan tells you the story really wants you to stay focused on the case!!! If iI got that red meat allergy, I wouldn't stop crying. My life without pork and beef wouldn't be complete 😢😢😢

I live in the Deep South, live in the woods and was made aware of alpha-gal by my vet 14 years ago when we brought in a stray pup to our vet that was COVERED in ticks. A discussion about rickettsial diseases ensued. He told me the difference between Gulf Coast and Lone Star ticks, and that we (thankfully) are too far (Coastal) south for Lone Star ticks. I got my heads-up about AGS then.

Thank you so much for sharing this case. It’s just like a quick cme updating my knowledge. But how to explain his elevated lactate though?

I always enjoy your videos. So informative! I never knew about that

I’ve loved these types of videos you’ve been doing. Thank you so much for taking the time to do the research, make the videos, and even review them against professionals in the medical community. Always love your uploads!

That was fascinating. I started to think it was a red meat allaergy but when you mentioned he ate red meat previously, I had my doubts. BTW, your new haircut looks really good! I once got bit by some type of bug on the lip and I developed a full blown case of hives that had my eating benedryl like it was candy. Fortunately the hives did subside but it felt like it took months before I even noticed.

Love the info, though the delivery is so intense, I guess that gets our attention though and it’s effective 😅 thank you!
