Do you have any known allergies, Bella? Flagyll. That's about it. Not great with wheat but I fell off that wagon badly this year. But I've had the experience above earlier in the week, I think from chorizo again (different one). But now I think about it, I've had the numb mouth thing a few times this year. And possibly the flush, though I notice that. (Perhaps Bruce was right??) But yes, it was very allergic feeling - my cheeks started to feel numb and ache as well, before the piriton kicked in. There's more. I ate a ready-made meal (shameful I know) earlier this evening, and a few minues later my face suddenly flushed. What seems to be in common here in the food is redness. I think. > In my case, I know that I am grossly allergic to rats, and if something > like that happened to me I would suspect that the chorizo was > contaminated with rat hair or faeces (yuk). A friend of mine is so allergic to cats she can feel it if she meets someone who has been near a cat earlier. -- bellajonez at yahoo dot co dot uk
