About horse food… I confess to you all that I am a great consume of oats in the form of porridge. You see to combat my bastard (or to you non-existant) illness I require sturdy eats of a morning and so get up in the morning. And make porridge. This morning I took in a cupfull of oats in plastic container and boiled it up with a cup of milk and a cup of water. In order to placate my taste buds I also added yoghurt, strawberries and sugar. Most tasteous, rather like strawberries and cream. No really. And as a extra added bonus my dad collects my manure and makes it into compost!

Sorry about your inflating hands Tan.

Geoff, does this sound familiar? It came from someone’s travel diary I came across as I was searching:

“We had a few hairy moments during our last few days in South America! On Tuesday Clare went into anaphylactic shock and I had to rush her to the doc’s. It was pretty scary as she has never reacted to anything like that before and we still don’t know what it was. The doctors were fab and very hygienic, and thankfully she got better pretty quickly but it was a little scary for a while there!”

Apparently, as well as having antihistimine pills in your pouch, you should have self injecting adrenalin for future emergencies!
You should be able to buy this at a chemist in Thailand without prescription; or ask at the hospital.
I thoroughly recommend buying one before leaving Chiang Mai!
The site I looked at said, if problems arise:
Take an antihistamine (25-50 mg tablets or capsules of Benadryl by mouth) if you can swallow without difficulty.
If you are wheezing or having difficulty breathing, use a bronchodilator (borrow Geoff’s ventolin)
If a reaction of the entire body has been present, you should be given a prescription for a self-injecting epinephrine device when you leave the hospital. Inject yourself with a premeasured, prescription dose of epinephrine. Known as EpiPen or Ana-Kit (epinephrine), these self-administered medications are easily and rapidly injected into the thigh muscle. This is extremely effective and fast acting. Anyone who has experienced a prior anaphylactic reaction should carry these kits.

So there you are. I send this in an email but I’m not sure if you got it.
