My husband has developed an extreme allergy to capsaisin, any type of red or green hot pepper, pimiento, etc--he cannot eat or smell without his throat closing, unable to talk, etc.. I have thrown out anything that may affect the allergyi but we cannot control the environment outside our home. He stopped visiting my vet since they cook spicy foods in the back of the office--today we were going to eat in a hospital dining room and he was zapped before he got the door fully open--symptoms can last up to 18 hours, during which he has intense headaches, and his throat partially closes. We have tried garlic, monolukast, benadryl, and flonase with poor success. I would appreciate any help you can offer--this is life-changing
