I would TOTALLY go get an allergy test if I were you. And think of EVERY POSSIBLE THING you came in to contact with on Saturday, and if any of it was different than normal. Because that's a serious reaction for a first time ( ... )

Wow. That's terrifying. I will definently go in to get an allergy test. Thank you for the warning.
See, I've been trying to figure out what it was, but I really didn't have anything I hadn't ever had before. But I guess when I go in for an allergy test we'll find out.

Sometimes allergies just happen all of a sudden, things you've been around before, suddenly bother you. So I'd make a list of everything anyway. Foods, any plants you may have come acrossed, any fabrics or animals? If you can't think of anything you haven't come into contact with before, then perhaps think of things you haven't come into contact with all that much, maybe things you haven't been around in awhile and on Saturday you were.

I never used to be allergic to lilacs or cats when I was younger, but I am now. lol Last summer I got my allergy to lilacs (nothing serious, just some watery eyes and sneezing) and I've been allergic to (strange) cats for about 4 years now. lol

I think I may actually be allergic to hay now, too. All of a sudden. My and I were sitting on some hay today in his dad's truck and my legs broke out in another rash that faded when I got off the truck. It's very aggravating.

My mom is setting up testing for me pretty soon :)

Glad you're ok. That's pretty scary! I had to take my roommate to the ER for an allergic reaction when I was in college--her experience was similar. Turns out she was allergic to pennicillin. Any idea what you're allergic to?

Me too! It was really strange. Oh, not fun. My best friend is allergic to penicillin.
I have no idea. The doctor said it was most likely something I had taken internally, like food or medicine, but I didn't have anything strange.
