Whenever I have an allergic reaction to something (which seems to be a more frequent occurance these days) my neck just below my ears, kind of right behind my jaw, gets red and puffy. Usually on the left side only, though if it's really bad it happens on the right side, too, and sometimes on my forehead just up on the hairline.
It happens when I have two or more hard-boiled eggs in one day (that one took forever to figure out!), and now I think it happens when I have aspirin (Japanese Bufferin.) Either that or it was the scrambled egg/tofu thing for lunch, but it wasn't that much egg, and it wasn't hard-boiled. I'll have to eat a bunch of scrambled eggs for breakfast this weekend and see what happens. But I'm pretty sure it was the Bufferin.
Note to self: always have some Advil on hand.
