Reporter added in her medical records it says she should take Septra (it cut off her breathing) or another product for the bladder (for overactive bladder). she had never had a reaction to vaccines. But anything with coconuts, peanuts that's even found in shampoo she get hives and rash. That sensation in her gut was like if someone didn't tell her there was coconut in something she ingested. Within 15 minutes of ingesting coconut she feels like the intestines are being squeezed and it was the same sensation. She immediately told them and they brought the doctor in who checked heart and lungs which sounded good. The second one she had a serious reaction so she was ready for it last night. By the time she gets the shot and walks to where she has to sit, she gets saliva to build up. It was a lot of saliva in her mouth. Inside her lip starts to get tingling and her tongue. Then after 15 minutes she could feel a weird taste in her mouth. Her throat starts to close off. Her throat starts to close off. With the second dose she took Alavert.
