Alergies can be deadly, first time a rash, second exposure swelling, then you can have youor throght sewll shut.

They are usualy from hystemine reactions, and these blockers can help.

see a doctor, an alergist ASAP. I aint kidding either had a woodworking buddy who would get rashes on his hands from handling redwood, first time he ran a board through a planner he went into anaphalactic shock.

not a prety sight, twitching and purplish blue. emts had to give him a double hit of 2-pam and atropine.
