Alergic Reactions To Hookah?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I'm new to the forum and I just purchased my first hookah at my local shop. I've been trying different shishas left and right, all was well untill I came across Phaoro's tripple apple. I was about five minutes into the session and everything was going great good flavor thick smoke, and then BANG i noticed that i was short of breath and had a high heart rate (the same symptoms of my alergic reaction to certain foods especialy peanuts). I instantly stoped smoking hopeing that it was just all the smoke messing with me but after 15 minutes of borderline fighting for breath i turned to my antihistamine and was right as rain after 5 minutes.

I was just wondering if anyone that has food alergies has had similar reactions to certain shisha's.

P.S. i still love to smoke Pharoho's cherry cola its the best.

Nah, well I doubt it's an allergic reaction, all that happens with me is that my throat gets sore, but it's probably just due to a unseasoned throat since I never really used to inhale any tobacco smoke.

If you smoked pharoahs cherry cola, and you were fine, it isn't an allergic reaction to double apple. Are you allergic to apple? blink.gif
I don't think it contains natural apple flavor though. I'm sure someone knows where pharohs is made, and will chime in, because maybe it is processed in a factory that processes nuts? That would be my first guess. And you got a little peanut in your tobacco. Read the label on the jar and research it on the internet and see what you can pick up. (or post the label on here as well so we can do the same.. tongue.gif )

what foodp roducts are you allergic to? in some apple flavors, there is anise, not present in other shisha flavors, that could be one thing. also, pharaoh's may use a little bit of peanut oil for moisure/flavoring in a few of their flavors, thats another option. really not sure.

post up all your food allergies and i'm sure some1 will know.

I remember reading once about someone being allergic to mango fruit, and it was suggested that although it would most likely be safe to smoke a mango flavored shisha, there may be traces of the actual fruit that could cause a reaction.

Are you allergic to any food products that you're aware of?
