I gotta know!
Is anyone here allergic to chocolate? I never have been, but yesterday a co-worker gave me a piece of 76% chocolate that he got from a friend in France. It was weirdly bitter and kinda made my mouth numb and my throat sore and a little swollen. My throat was still sore this morning but better.
Could this be allergic reaction? Does anyone know? Do I need to call my doctor? Am I overreacting?
Anything but chocolate...please.

Just to make sure, I also had a piece of devil's food cake at lunch. Purely in the interest of scientific research....
76% is pretty rich in chocolate...maybe it was just too much for me and my dainty constitution.

This next one has a lot of pages that are under construction, but I thought the name of the site was interesting and it looks promising. There's even a message/discussion board:

I sure do hope it's only the variety of chocolate you ate that caused the problem and not chocolate in general.

This one is about chocolate allergy or intolerance. Apparently, it's very rare. You could react to something that is in the chocolate.
