Oh man I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you'll be OK ❤️

Oh it's balls. Your post yesterday about heading to the hospital lined up with my reaction. I was pretty close to ubering to the emergency department. I got in touch with Nurse-on-Call first to see what they had to say. I wasn't getting any anaphylaxis, just covered in a sunburn like red rash. Which continues to suck, but isn't life threatening.

Looks like we both drew the short straw man. I'm glad it wasn't anaphylaxis. Whole other set of problems.
