itchy lips

Gracie and I went yesterday afternoon to get a flu shot.

I didn't think anything of it as we have had shots in the past. But 15 minutes after the shot, I started having an allergic reaction! Apparently, there is some type of latex involvement in the flu shot and I have a latex allergy. My lips started itching just like they do if I am around balloons, rubber chickens or rubber gloves!

I took some benedryl and the itching stopped.

Not sure what this means for next years flu shot.
