I have never been allergic to anything but about a month ago after applying eye makeup my face started itching and my throat felt very itchy and dry. I immediately rinsed everything off and the feeling went away after a while. I assumed it was my eyeliner. But today I realised it was probably the latex in my lash glue that caused it after the same thing happened. I was so scared I was going to suffocate or die.
Same itchy nose/throat/ears and panicked feeling.
Now I'm terrified of developing a serious reaction or my throat closing up.
I don't have an epi pen or anything and am too scared to touch any of my makeup anymore which is a HUGE problem since I'm a MUA by trade! Yikes :/
Another thing: I regularly take beta blockers and I have been told that if someone on BB's has a severe allergic reaction, the epi pen won't work and they could die! So now I'm actually afraid of taking my meds!
I need some advice from people who have experienced this as to what is mild and when it's time to ring 999?
I was wondering if anyone else here has had an allergic reaction or anaphylaxis before and how they handled it? I don't know if this is a mild harmless allergy or something that could turn deadly!
