For a cold it was just way to severe then nothing for too long, then severe again.
Thought about anything I did different. Only one thing. Accidentally picked up some of those thin Oreo's that are mint instead of the regular kind. Had a couple a little before bed the night before the first eruption, then did not eat any again until dessert for lunch right before the second hay fever style eruption. So, have laid of the mint Oreos and have not had any issues since.
Have not had any mint in years and years that I can remember.

Mint makes me vomit. Literally. Either an intolerance or allergy so I try to avoid it. People laugh when I sniff desserts like brownies, but they would not like option two. It is funny how many people forget to put mint on the label at functions and just put fudge brownie on the label. I have gotten pretty good at spitting it right back into the napkin while keeping everything else down.
