What Causes Swollen Cheek/hands/feet And Indigestion After Eating Pistachio Nuts?
I recently have had an allergic reaction to what I think was pistacio nuts. I have always eaten them, but this weekend it turned into a swollen cheek( on the side I some stuck in my teeth), severe indigestion, swollen red and itchy hands and feet. I received a large antihistymine shot at the GP and it all went away over the next couple of days. Is this definitely an allergy or could it have been a bad nut?
