Allergic reaction : If you have no vomiting, nausea and feel otherwise well, another cause may be a local allergic reaction. Watch for signs including swelling, which usually occurs within 4 hours of ingestion during the immediate reaction phase. If unusual symptoms occur during the next week, please see your physician.
