What in Twizzlers am I allergic to?!


Question: What in Twizzlers am I allergic to?
If i smell twizzlers I get sick and break out in hives (I've never actually eaten them). I figured it meant I was allergic to licorice, but turns out twizzlers don't contain that (though I tend to react the same when I smell licorice). Any ideas?

Answers:

Your doctor can tell you better than anyone on Y! Answers. They have a thing called a scratch test that will indicate what items you are allergic to. Licorice is the name of the candy, twizzlers do not contain it because they ARE licorice the same way that Aquafina does not contain water because it IS water. The smell and taste associated with licorice is actually callled Anise and you may be allergic to that.

It's hard to say. Like most processed foods, they contain a ton of manufactured ingredients. And, they are non-organic. If you've never been allergy tested before, any doctor can order what's called a R.A.S.T. test. It's a simple blood test that checks for allergies, but maybe not sensitivities.



You may be allergic to the coloring dye of licorice, but not sure. I would get it checked out.



Probably gluten - if they are made with wheat.

food allergies



Thats sad but I really came here to tell you, im soo sorry you cant eat twizzlers
