I was given some peanut brittle as a gift yesterday. I love peanut brittle and hadn't eaten any for awhile.

Today I was eating some of it for the first time. I started to cough so I assumed something went down wrong. So I stopped eating it. The cough faded away after a few minutes.

A few hours later I wanted some more...

I started eating...

2 minutes into eating it, the coughing started up again...

I started wheezing with my cough.

I was having an asthma attack.

I took some zyertec and my rescue inhaler.

The wheezing has faded down to a small squeak and I've almosted stopped coughing.

What I want to know is this a peanut allergy reaction?

It could be the beginning of a nut allergy especially if it triggered your asthma. BUT, it could've been some of the other ingredients in the brittle as well. You should have this double checked by a professional.

Some allergies come along with family. Like Asthma.

Try with Homeopathy medicines.

I guess I need to call my allergist.
