I just had an allergic reaction - not the itchy rash kind, but full-on windpipe closing, eyelid inflaming, nearly pass-out variety.

I have never had an allergic reaction before, and haven't just eaten/drunk anything. What do you lot reckon it could be?

I'm not dead yet, though I can barely see out of my left eye (I took a nice dose of antihistamines and a few tokes on SWMBO inhaler to help me breath again) and am still wheezing a little.

Hayfever?

I've heard it's quite common in Summer.

It could be time to get to a Doc.

You could have been bitten by a mosquito and be allergic to that.

On the other hand my wife brings me out like that when she's got a strop on.

Join the club.
About 15/16 years ago I had the itchy spots and swollen lips then, about 6 months later, the full-blown rush to A&E with throat closing up attack. Very frightening.
If you've never had or seen a proper anaphylactic shock reaction, don't make fun of peoples' allergies, folks.
We never did find out what caused it and it hasn't happened since, thank goodness.
