Tweetable Quotes “There is something called anaphylaxis where, when somebody eats something and they start getting an incredible nuclear-level allergic reaction, they can get a runny nose. But, they will also get other very serious - potentially life-threatening - symptoms, life difficulty breathing.”(02:32) (Dr. Brian) “If somebody’s gonna be having a runny nose from eating a food, and they don’t have any of the other symptoms, then I would say most likely it’s not a histamine or allergic reaction to the food. It could just be that the food is very spicy. And that’s a different type of reaction. That’s actually called Nonallergic Rhinitis.”(03:57) (Dr. Brian) “If there is a food that’s giving you a reaction, definitely talk to your doctor. And your doctor may want to get you allergy tested because if somebody really does have an allergy, sometimes it can be very bad.”(06:12) (Dr. Brian) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast
