About a year ago, I ate some walnuts. Then about a half hour later I went ou for a run. About half way into my run my throat started to close up. It was a windy day and I figured it was just my allergies kicking in. I started getting itchy.

I finished my run. By then my throat was really swollen and I had hives all over. I had never has anything like it. I jumped in my pool. Still I was reacting like crazy. I popped a benadryl and it started to calm down. It was like nothing I had experienced before or since. Hope it never happens again.

I went to the doc the next day. He said it was likely “exercise induced anaphylaxis” brought on by mold on the nuts.

Hope I never get that. Mold on the nuts, that is.

Exercise-induced anaphylaxis: Clinical manifestations, epidemiology, and diagnosis

Exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIAn) is a disorder in which anaphylaxis occurs in association with physical exertion. There is a related condition called food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIAn), in which symptoms develop only if exercise takes place within a few hours of eating, and in most cases, only if a specific food is eaten in the pre-exercise period.

The clinical manifestations, theories of pathogenesis, evaluation, and diagnosis of EIAn and FDEIAn will be reviewed here. The management and prognosis of EIAn and FDEIAn, anaphylaxis caused solely by foods, and the diagnosis and management of anaphylaxis from any cause are discussed elsewhere. (See "Exercise-induced anaphylaxis: Management and prognosis" and "Food-induced anaphylaxis" and "Anaphylaxis: Rapid recognition and treatment".)
