That doesn't sound good Christine, that could be an allergic reaction.

My friend has a slight allergy to nuts (thankfully this is only a slight allergy) when she has something that conatins nuts she can tell straight away as her lips tingle, and she knows then she must stop eating it or it could become more severe. Though in her case this isn't as severe as some people but she does get quite a swelling and can look like Mick Jagger..lol
