- sterilising toothbrushes on the stove = 2 firetrucks and toxic smoke saturated house.
- same night - nasty, nasty head cold developed
- early that day - nasty rash on upper torso develops
- 3 days later discover our cleaner (brought in because of the toxic smoke) has ripped us off and damaged household items.
its all done now thankfully, many lessons have been learnt and the cleaner is due for some Karma.
So onto the topic of this post.
I developed a rash on Saturday morning and couldn't place why. It took me 2 days to figure out why and in the meantime i continued to do what caused the rash. It took a google image search of about a minute to discover that I had 'Ribo rash'. This is a rash caused by an allergy to the food additive 635 (and sometimes the related 631 and 627). It took me another 10 minutes of searching food labels in the cupboard(of which i found just one offender), then i clicked to the real offender. Sanitariums Vegie Delights range uses 635 quite commonly I discovered after reading their 635 disclosure page. geez. sanitarium says there is nothing wrong with 635. Don't think because you have eaten them and had no issue that you are in the all clear. I have been eating them for the last 3 yrs, but had excessive amounts this week. according to the website www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info this is common. you can be fine eating it once a week, but go over your bodies limit and you'll know it. I had itchy swollen eyes, earlobes and neck. aswell my upper torso. I've put it on my no no list. its the first thing on my no no list as i have never had a problem with allergies before. i figure if too much causes a rash then any amount is probably bad for me.
In the midst of looking at label in my home i was appalled to find MSG in the powdered vegie stock(vegeta) i have used for 5 yrs. i was shocked.
