I drink a lot of hot black tea with soy milk. Lately I've been adding thistle honey (wow, this makes me sound like a pretentious foodie, yikes), and I've noticed that it makes my lips and nose swell and tingle, and my tongue goes slightly numb. It doesn't seem to have any effect on my breathing. I've never had any honey allergies before; could I be allergic to the thistle pollen in the honey?
More importantly, is this something I should be worried about? I like the taste of the honey, and the tingling is kind of pleasant, if weird; do I need to quit drinking it?
