Bad reaction to black pepper - who else?!

[protea]

I sprinkled some Himalayan salt and black pepper on my avocado a few days ago... a few minutes later, my chest and throat started closing up (I could still breathe though;) ) - I used to be able to eat black pepper with SAD food without any problems... how strange!:rolleyes: Well, no more black pepper for me!

Has anyone else had this happen to them??

i've read a couple of places that black pepper has many toxins in it and to use cayenne for spice instead.

This may be off-topic, but ever since going raw I seem to be developing throat reactions to many foods that I could previously tolerate. My throat now itches after eating eggplant, tomatoes, avocado, and now some nuts (I think). It seems like every day I add a new one to the list. I hope it passes...

P.S. No reaction to black pepper for me...yet!
