138 Old Route 66, Saint Robert, 65584 Missouri, United States
Suspected food poisoning. Symptoms: other: Hives (Hospital)Suspected source: Not sure. I don‘t think any intentional ingredients did it.
Onset: Very soon after. Like a few seconds.
Duration: Not sure.
Sick: Just me.
Additional information: I was three when it happened. I have only partial memory of the incident, but I decided to solve the mystery myself when it happened. The dish was a Greek yogurt with Mixed Berries. After the first bite, a hive appeared shortly after. My parents got a little confused and decided they either saw it wrong, or was harmless. They still hesitated my second bite, but that second spoonful made me break out in hives and I had to go to the hospital. It never happened again, and different yogurts were just fine. I never had the yogurt again, but my parents decided to check the ingredients two years later. They saw nothing suspicious or wrong, and that left them confused and stumped. They overall gave up in the search, but I was stubborn enough to continue. As a nine year-old, I had an allergy test including strawberries and blueberries which both posed as non-allergenic to me. Both Greek yogurt and granola I have eaten many times, which I can consider myself fine to. So I believe the mystery allergen was a form of bacteria or germ that was most likely unintentional. I have gained no further evidence, and I figured this could lead to answers, or maybe even save some innocent victims a visit to the hospital. | Symptoms: Other
