Thanks,
you are right
I was probably just panicing because of a long stressful phonecall.
Then another call
Then another
Enough my heart said.
I let everyone know I was getting a bad "headache" (a convenient euphemism), turned off the phones and I am beginning to settle a bit.
the reason I blamed the oil is because the same thing happened when I tried SAMe and when I tried an herb called Schizandra.
I am trying the oil for dry eyes and high cholesterol.
Thanks again for your response. Jane

So you worry/panic, then because you're worried your neck goes red, you think its because you're fatally allergic to the wasp sting, you start to breathe more shallowly, you think you're having a allergic reaction......I tried to just calm myself as best I could. And drank a beer or two. Of course the allergy thing was my hypochrondriac speaking in me....
