Stinky The Clown (1000+ posts) Sun Jan-24-10 08:22 PM#05 TOP PRIMITIVE OF 2009; THE SPARKLING HUSBAND PRIMITIVEOriginal message Tingly mouth ..... food allergy? We had for supper:Shell on shrimp smoked with cherry wood. The shrimp were seasoned with Old Bay.Totally naked baked sweet potatoes.Tossed salad with mixed greens, slivered almonds, dried cherries, sliced onion, and clementine wedges. It had a commercial cherry vinaigrette we have used many times.A very fruit forward French Sauvignon.What in that menu could account for the tingly, almost numbed mouth I got. Swirling the wine caused the sensation to spread, but that could have been the wine, or just as easily, the tingly agent being spread by the wine.Any guesses? 15 minutes after dinner the sensation was gone.

elleng (1000+ posts) Sun Jan-24-10 08:52 PMResponse to Original message 2. Something like this? Mango peel contains urushiol, the chemical in poison ivy and poison sumac that can cause urushiol-induced contact dermatitis in susceptible people. Cross-reactions between mango contact allergens and urushiol have been observed. Those with a history of poison ivy or poison oak may be most at risk for such an allergic reaction. Urushiol is also present in mango leaves and vines. During mango's primary season, it is the most common source of plant dermatitis in Hawaii.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mango

My advice would be to approach your next shrimp or nuts cautiously If you feel any swelling at all, get to an emergency room. If this is the beginning of a food allergy, it can be a serious one.Then again, maybe somebody had hidden a bag of coke in part of your food and it leaked during transit. 15 minutes is about right for cocaine.Who knows?Just be aware that you can be allergic to anything at any time.

Could be a TIA.
Warpy's advice: Stinky should always approach his nuts cautiously.
The things some dummies will dream up just to show off in front of the other primitives. Poor cheetos eating slobs, having to drool over the disgusting clown's vast spread.

Probably the Old Bay. Use a little less if you can't handle it. Oh, and STEAM the shrimp...
What the heck is "Old Bay" anything like "Bay Rum" they use to use at the barbershop?
Next we'll hear from the clown saying he has a ....deep itching in his ears.
Cherry wood has arsenic in it....his wife needs to "smoke" the food longer.
Dunno about that, arsenic is a metallic element and not a super-abundant one, unless it was grown in arsenic-ore-bearing soil that seems kind of unlikely. I have heard wild cherry bark contains small amounts of cyanide (which basically is nothing but hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon) not sure if there is any truth to it but it does keep me from picking wild cherry branches for hot dog roasting.
