On Easter Sunday, upon leaving my sister-in-laws home, I bent over and
took 3 big sniffs of this fragrant schrub. Within a few minutes, in the
car while driving home I started to have an allergic reaction but I did
not know what it was from. Severe coughing, nausea and lost my voice
within 10 minutes. I went home took an Allegra and Benadril and went to
bed after coughing up blood in mucus. At 3 am I awoke with a swollen
tongue and very sore throat and ears. After going through the process
of elimination and looking online to find out what they had to offer on
this fragrant schrub, I went into the doctors office. I should have
gone into emergency for a shot, but got several prescriptions for
steroids and a cough surpressant. Thursday, I went back into the Doctor
no better. My tongue still somewhat swollen and not able to swallow or
talk. The extreme soreness was my throat and under my chin...so
swollen. It has been 9 days, I am back in the office but still on drugs
and a sore throat abounds. I slept from a Monday until Saturday non
stop. I just wanted to let any reader know my experience. I have never
had an allergic reaction to any plant or flower...but perfume yes. Take
heed and go into emergency if you have any symtoms I've described. It
can be a very painful and deadly experience if not taken care of
immediately...which I did not.. Doctor's do not have the shot needed to
stop the reaction in their offices...only ER can.
