Allergic too

Sometime after Thanksgiving, years ago, a good friend of mine brought me to P.F. Chang's for dinner. It was my first visit & I Love Asian food! I had chicken lettuce wrap & shrimp lo mein. Later that night, I began to clear my throat a lot & just thought I was coming down with a cold. 3 days later I broke out in hives & had been ignoring the fact that I had been randomly itching since then. My primary care physician ordered an allergy test for me, & as life would have it, I was newly allergic to peanuts, shrimp, & soy. I miss peanuts, but I've realized some things aren't worth risking my health for.

Do you know the signs of an allergic reaction?
