unknown allergy-anaphylaxis

I recommend you discuss this issue with a cardiologist

Thank you Sr Sailor, can you please tell me why a cardiologist. I live in a small place I would have to get doctor approval to ship me out the check this and that is not so east where I live.
Thank you

Hi Ninjaheidi ~ Mold spores are invisible but for those w/allergy to mold this can be absolutely devastating.

Symptoms range from terrible headaches to allergic rhinitis [nose running], asthma & severe skin rash.

I read your reply very carefully. Anaphylactic shock from food allergy occurs quickly ~ not 2 hours later. So it seems logical your toxic allergen is something in your environment.

It was once explained to me that allergic reactions can be like a bow and arrow. You draw back the bow further and further with each allergy attack and then one day ~~BOOM~~ the arrow shoots all the way out and the body goes into deep shock... which can indeed be fatal.

You have been told how serious is anaphylactic shock? YOU MUST HAVE TWO EPI-PENS. Get another one today. In case the ambulance does not arrive quickly YOU NEED TO INJECT YOURSELF A SECOND TIME or have a friend or neighbor help you administer a second dose of epinephrine in 15 minutes.

Do you have a person nearby you can discuss your allergy problem? You need someone that is willing to help if you go into anaphylactic shock. You have 30 minutes to get to a hospital. It's very dangerous. I am worried about you!

I know about mold allergy since it's happening to me. It's a nightmare. I moved from another state and rented a condo online from looking at photos. I had a friend check the place in person for me. She did not do a very good examination of the property. When I walked in I smelled mold immediately. It is very pungent. I immediately experienced horrible symptoms and went to emergency care.. I've been on prednisone for months which barely controls the violent skin rash I have on my arms & legs. It's truly awful.

To answer your question, you don't need to touch the mold. You only need to breathe the spores. Most people have problems with lungs and rhinitis [runny nose] but in my case it's manifested as a terrible skin rash. I was tested as a child and on a scale of 1 to 10 mold was an "11". I never lived in an environment like I do right now since I lived in L.A. which is basically a desert and very dry. I moved to Florida which is very wet ~ and boy ~ am I paying for it since I've been told by local residents that mold is everywhere due to intense moisture in climate.

Since you are in 20 below weather, I don't know your environment as I've never lived in the cold. However, wherever there is moisture [rain, snow, etc] there can be mold in between the walls. You can have the air tested [very expensive] or insist your allergist test you ASAP for mold.

Please get a second Epi-pen RIGHT AWAY!!!!

Let me know how you are doing. I send you my very best wishes.

Thank you Sr Sailor, I never would have thought of that, i will certainly bring it to my doctors attention.
Thank you again
