Allergic to Greek

My boss hosted a lunch yesterday with catered Greek food to wrap up a morning interviewing Richard from California. I ate at 2; at 4:30 I noticed I felt itchy all over, and by 5:00 I couldn't take it any more and tore my clothes off to scratch. (It didn't help.)

Rachel suggested I take a shower. I did, and the itching subsided, for a couple hours. It started again about 7, so I chugged some childrens' benadryl, and that took care of it for good.

I've never felt itching like that before. And I've eaten Greek food, without problems. This was just grilled chicken, flatbread, and yellow rice.

Rather unsettling.
