Actually, mine happened as an adult and I thought I was crazy. I have eaten mustard before and I have eaten it since. What got me was mustard hot dog relish. I have always wondered if it was a preservative in it because just plain mustard on a burger doesn't bother me but I have NOT tried a mustard hot dog relish since. Has this happened to "anyone" else but me? Also, with my strange allergies, I deal with SLE and all kinds of sutoimmune diseases and have been told that adds to the allergy problems. ???Any input on that?

Thanks. I am glad I found you.

I also have mustard allergy, though it's not as serious as some. I've never liked it so I didn't end up accidentally eating it until college, when my throat promptly began to close up. I don't develop hives, but I do wheeze and splutter for a few hours or until i get an antihistimine. The other other allergies I have are skin related, such as latex and laundry detergents.

Hello my son Peter is in hospital as I am sending this message. He ate a prawn cocktail last wednesday and immediately starting itching as a result. We went to A & E and they adminstered Piriton and steroids as the rash was covering the whole of his body and large welts appeared everywhere. We thought at first it could be the prawn howvever whilst in hospital he ate a sandwich and his lips and face started to swell immediately. We rang the restaurant and asked for the ingredients in the sauce that was on the prawns. One common ingredient in both the prawn coctail sauce and the sandwich was mustard seeds. We are still not absolutley sure but it is looking very likely this ingredient has caused his allergic reaction. Any advice would be appreciated. Sue Peters Mum

I was researching mustard allergy because my grandson had mustard for the first time, just a dot on his sandwich and he started to cry that his mouth hurt, his lip blew up, his eyes started to itch and he started to sneeze like crazy. I have never heard about this allergy. I guess he might be allergic to mustard seed?

Happened years ago after eating mustard with sausage at a german club. I drank a brandy and coke, then got up to dance. My lips and throat started to swell and we went to hospital straight away. I was swollen so badly that i was unrecognizable. I was able to tell dr that I need an adrenaline injection which i was given. I was in hospital all night and swelling did not go down for about two days. I thought I was going to die. Talk of a tracheotomy, but it was not done after the adrenaline started to work.
