So how long does a blue cheese quiche take to react with somebody with a penecillin allergy?

Mark had made some lovely quiches today, partly for a conference buffet lunch but also for staff tea.  I saw mel tucking in to her tea in the kitchen and she told me it was lovely.  I brought mine back up to the office and noticed a slightly odd colour on top and thought it might be where the egg had slightly over cooked but then I noticed more colour and recognised the taste! 

I do like blue cheese so would have thought no more of it but I did remember Mel’s allergy to penecillin.  I hot footed it down to the kitchen to see if Mel was still eating and to stop her if I could.  Her mum would have been pleased at the good clean plate and she was already in discussion with Mark about the blue cheese.  Kate asked why she hadn’t noticed the taste but of course it is something she’s never experienced. 

Mel was eating just after 5pm and it is now 5.40 and no reaction yet…

Hopefully it will pass but I’ve got my latex gloves and resussiade handy just in case!

 

Well the good news is that Cornish Blue cheese is OK! Mel suffered no more than a bit of anxiety and worked all Friday evening and was back in this morning for breakfast.
