Well what a day it has been here at Bridgeys Kitchen 😱
This has never happened to me before beyond a bit of hay fever .
This morning I developed symptoms of an allergy that piriton didn't touch .I was in agony to be honest -severe itching all over and hives, swollen tongue - the works .
It got to the point where we were forced to close the shop as I was carted off to hospital where my blood pressure dropped out and I was puking all over resus .
After a few hours ,iv stuff and steroids I was 100% better , and am now home wondering what the hell happened .
The most likely cause of the allergy is new washing tabs -a fact that frightens me for others as it was very unpleasant .
We apologise but had no other option but to close . The shop will be open again tomorrow.
Below is a photo of what I believe set me off .
Ariel 3 in 1 tabs (farm foods offer 2 packs for£15 at the moment . Be very careful - I would not wish it on anyone x
Thanks to Sharon Veldon for your help this morning chick x
