Pork Pork Pork

I'm allergic to Salvadoran pork...and how did I find this out? I ATE IT AND MY LIPS SWELLED WHILE I WAS SLEEPING. Well actually I didn't sleep that night because I felt like there were a million bugs crawling all over my body. I was scratching from 9pm-6am. Around 3am my bottom lips began to swell and it SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME!! Do you guys remember the movie Nutty Professor? Well, there's this scene when Buddy transforms into the Professor. Remember how his bottom lip was just kinda hanging there....about the size of a polish sausage. THAT WAS ME! By the time I got out of bed my entire mouth was swollen. I didn't want to leave the house because it looked REALLY bad. My host mother, being such a darling, told me that it didn't look that bad (she was lying to make me feel better...it didnt work). Long story short...I went to the hospital, was told not to eat anymore pork, was given medication. Last nite I slept like a baby and my lips are no longer swollen. :)

luv u all
