Is it possible to get cold-like symptoms from chocolate ?
last night (my birthday) i had a couple of pieces of chocolate cake and was as fit as a fiddle .. Now today I have a runny nose and an awful sore throat.
Funny question maybe ... But wait !
many years ago while working in Southern Africa I seemed to get the same whenever I ate a certain brand of chocolate. At that time I thought it strange, but remember it happening a few times.

What, like an allergic reaction? Have you taken an antihistamine?
Or maybe, it's the changeable weather and you have got a cold.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0 -
An allergy to an ingredient was my first thought as well.0

Do you drink coffee or tea, if not maybe it is a reaction to caffeine? I'm in the middle of caffeine withdrawal and have been in a bad way with sore muscles, lethargy and depression for 2 days!0
