Food allergy: If you ate the squash and had an immediate reaction (minutes to 2hrs) that included hives, swelling, shortness of breath, wheeze, throat tightness, vomiting or passing out then I would be concerned for a food allergy reaction. Would make an appointment with an allergist to determine what could be the culprit foods. Bring list of ingredients eaten that meal to appointment. Avoid foods until seen.

Mgt: Since you have other allergies, asthma and had the onset of symptoms after eating, it is certainly possible. Usually symptoms to ingested allergens occur within four hours of eating. In the meantime, until you see your PCP, avoid those specific ingredients. Did you have a rash? itchiness? More advice can be provided with a virtual appointment.
