Odd reaction

[Smiler.]

The mrs cooked-up some prawns in piri-piri last night & some oven-hot bread.

Very nice.

About an hour later, I sliced up a fresh pineapple.

Oh dear, halfway though eating it, my lips swelled up & began to bleed & my tongue & mouth were on fire. The mrs had similar symptoms without the lips.

For the rest of the evening, I my gob looked like Mick Jaggers'.

Ouch.

sounds like a shell fish alergy

Sounds like same knife was used to cut up piri-piri chillis and pineapple...

Quote common with Pineapple!

Pineapple enzymes are used to tenderize steak.

Apparently you can avoid this by removing the core (tough bit in the middle).

Ah, that sounds like the culprit, thanks.

I used to get the same thing with seafood carpaccio if they used lime in the dressing. Appears as if the seafood and fruit acid mixture = swollen lips.
