Everything was fine until day 6 when I started getting a strange taste in my mouth. Later the taste subsided.  That evening when I put the cream on my nose again, within 1/2 hour the taste came back strong, and I became light headed, and a strange sensation in my stomach. I immediately washed the cream off, and started doing research. I found out about Dpd enzyme defeciency. I'm not sure if this is my case, but it sounds like Im having this kind of allergic reaction to the cream. The next morning, I felt better, with some of the side affects still there. My question now is, Will this toxic cream naturally leave my body? and How has it affected my body? Will I die from this reaction? What do I do?Thanks for any response. cancunmic Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT
