pharynx. Sometimes other reactions can be triggered in the eyes, nose, and skin. Swelling of the lips, tongue, and
uvula and a sensation of tightness in the throat may be observed. Seldom it can result in
anaphylaxis.
[2] If a sufferer swallows the food, there is a good chance that there will be a reaction later in the
gastrointestinal tract.
Vomiting,
diarrhea, severe
indigestion, or
cramps may occur.
