Itching swelling: Food allergy usually occurs from minutes to 2 hours after contact. The most common reactions are itchy mouth and throat but severe reactions can cause throat swelling, hives, itching , flushing, breathing problem, vomiting, diarrhea, fainting (shock) -> potentially death. If this fits, avoid almond which may also contaminate other nuts product. See allergist & you may need an epinephrine set.
