Allergy or is it?: A possible "allergy" to opioids should be investigated.Injectable k=morphine can cause local reactions hat look like an allregy but is not. Then again there are naturally occurring and symnthetic opioids which acn cause allergies but the opposite may be used. Investigate this potential thoroughly with your physician.
