My DH was baking pumpkin bread this weekend for a church fundraiser. Sat. I noticed my eyes were itchy and I had a cough, congestion and a headache. My throat felt funny. But I didn't think anything of it. Yesterday he finished the bread and when they were in the oven for about 20 min all the symptoms came back again.
Now I don't eat pumpkin bread but I eat pumpkin pie and never had a problem. I got out the pie spice and there is........
cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and 'sulfiting agents'.
He also was working with walnuts.
If it weren't for the itchy eyes and nose, I would just brush it off as other things causing it. But when my eyes got itchy again last night, I am thinking allergy.
But why only the smell? I can eat pumpkin pie (or I have in the past...haven't had any recently)
Any thoughts? Think I should be aware of the pie or do you think it was just the baking in the air? Or the nuts??
