I get this horrible allergic reaction from orange juice i guess and my family wont believe me at all! So my aunt goes out and buys this...orange juice slash soda thingy and its so weird, and it had more acid on it than usual. She opened it, and the smell was SO strong it completely wafted throughout the entire apartment and stayed for more than half an hour. I ran out yelling my lungs out, telling them to cover it. I saw it was a weird oil thing and i got confused completely. Ugh. The reaction was horrible. I was choking, gagging, feeling nauseus, dizzy, and lightheated the entire time. My throat was like closing in on me and i really felt like i was just gonna stop breathing. But it wasn't even orange juice!
What am i allergic to? And how can i help treat it?
I eat oranges, but cant STAND fake orange juice or strong orange soda The thing was one of the worst smelling orange-juicy oil things i have ever smelled, but my family ADORED the smell! How come?
In Dire Need of HELP ASAP!

You need to see an allergist and they will put you through a series of tests. I guarantee you the orange smell isn't the only thing your allergic to. As for your family not taking you seriously, maybe you need to sit down with them and have a serious discussion. If your reaction was that dramatic, they will probably issue you an epi-pen. In the meantime, at least take some Benadryl to see if that will ease some of your symptoms.

There are various ratings of allergies including just the odor or smell, like peanuts. You need to talk to the family doctor who can do a RASP (blood test) and find out exactly what you are allergic to.
In the meantime if the item is in the house, just dont drink or smell it. But I never heard of hallucination from a smell.

You may be allergic to the dye or something.
Go to an allergist and have a test done.
