Sometimes: The allergen can be in foods or things you use regularly. The companies can change formulations. Even the same people you r around can change something that may affect you.

Face swelling: Your allergy problem may be due to something you ate , like shrimp, or other sea food. Eating chinese food could also have caused the problem.
