HI, I'm not an amphibian person at all, but I found your post in researching meal worm allergy - I'm quite sure I have it, found a few larval casings in the cardboard edge of a box of batter I used. Went into seriouos reaction, itchy hands, sneezing, puffed up filled with water eyelids, asthmatic breathing, I freaked. Took a bunch of benadryl, inhalers, antihistimines, drops and nasal sprays and laid down for a few hours till it subsided, it's been 48 hrs and still have puffed up eyes. What do you do when this happens? Should I get a prescription for an epi-pen? I take a daily antihistamine for all my other allergies, but this was over the top. Any advice?
