Unusual: I am not aware of anyone being allergic to caffeine. However if you have a condition known as cholinergic urticaria (small, red, and itchy bumps lasting for a few hours), one can postulate that the heightened stress response from excessive caffeine could trigger cholinergic urticaria. If the typenol with caffeien is in a capsule form, gelatin allergy is a consideration. Fillers in t/cod?
