And I remember when tetracycline tried to kill me. When I was 15 or so I was
having an astma attack and upon entering the hospital I was given
tetracycline. It immediately (within seconds) started to close my throat and
I subsequently developed really really painful blisters in my mouth. Didn't
eat for 5 days but loved nonethless.

Again I am posing the same question. When the doctors (plural) saw what was
happening they imnmediately responded with the dreaded word "allergy". Were
they all wrong as well?
