Could this be an allergic reaction?
Do you know the crest glide strips dental floss? Do you know of the flavor on dental floss? Well lately Ive been using Crest Dental Floss and everytime I put my mouth completely on it my lips start burning, my tongue gets numb, my throat feels like something is caught in it, and my tongue kind of starts tingling before it gets numb. Is this normal or is it an allergic reaction?

Sorry if I misspelled words. Im sleepy as heck.

I have had many episodes of bloated, swollen lips over several years. The first time happened after teeth cleaning by my dentist.
At that time he gave me Glide Dental Floss to use at home. This went into my travel kit so was only used occasionally when I traveled. At least four times, when traveling, I had swollen lip episodes. Last time was last week when I flossed before going to bed. Within 1 - 2 hrs. the allergy occurred. I finally made the connection between the cause and effect. Luckily my Dr. had supplied me prednisone tablets which work well in stopping the swelling.

Daily Horoscope for December 27

Scorpio

If you haven't seen certain people during the past few days, how about inviting them over for a drink or a meal? You're feeling sociable and will enjoy doing some light entertaining although you'll draw the line at anything too strenuous. It's a lovely day for being in familiar surroundings with some familiar faces, even if all you do is flop on the sofa.
