Death By Thanksgiving Dinner

Directly after eating mass quantities of dressing, turkey, sweet potatoes, green beans, mashed potatoes, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, etc., my throat began to close, I started to wheeze and cough, and it became quite painful to breathe. I have had previous nightmare incidents with raspberries and hives, however, I was not aware that I was chronically allergic to some component of the traditional Thanksgiving feast. Despite these life-threatening symptoms, I have chosen to eat leftovers and will eat more of the suspected problem foods tomorrow. I have, however, invested in some Wal-tin D ($5-Claritin), and will continue to monitor the situation.
