It was fresh mint leaves straight from the plant that’s why I still don’t understand how I got this reaction

I did a google search on reactions to ingesting mint and learned that we can become allergic to it. Extreme reactions, which it sounds like you had, include anaphylaxis...which I had only associated with peanuts. I hope you will pursue investigating this and be careful, because the article I read listed a myriad of products that contain mint. Good luck! Nancy

@yaramarthe- Did you pick them from a plant or were they commercially purchased? My thought after thinking about this more it could be an insecticide. WHat do you think?
