" A few weeks after my anaphylaxis, I was having memory loss. I would stand in front
of the refrigerator and forget what I want to take. I kept on forgetting familar names.
Weirdly, only my short term memory was affected. Not sure whether it is related to
anaphylaxis. I think it's possible, since my blood pressure was low and there might
not be enough oxygen for my brain during the incidence. "

In this case, he sustained damage to his hippocampus, which is linked
more with long term memory.

“No hippocampus,” says Berger, “no long-term memory, but still short-term memory.

I'm also a highly allergic individual, though haven't experienced
anaphylatic reactions yet.

A mosquito bite will cause the skin to swell up easily to the size of
a ten to twenty cent coin, and itch badly too.

My lower eyelid will swell up too, if I take aspirin, Ponstan, ibuprofen
or any of the older generation nonselective NSAIDS. Kind of a mild
angioedema reaction.

I've had the penicilloyl G and V tests which turned out negative, so I think
I am not allergic to penicillin or its oral derivatives - ampicillin, amoxycillin,
cloxacillin, etc.

Have you had these tests yet ?


Egg whites will cause histamine release, you should avoid that.
Avoid tomatoes and strawberries as well.

Make sure you avoid bee products such as propolis, which can cause
anaphylactic shock in some five percent of the population.

There was a case of a Chinese schoogirl, I think in Ipoh, who went
into shock and died after being stung by a bee in her kitchen, not too
long back.
