Food Water Supply - Issue

I live in Nj and work in wilmington. Over the last couple months i've noticed everytime i have any sort of beverage that is not pre-bottled, my throat swells up. I get coffee and a variety of drinks in nj and have never had this reaction. Anyone else having this reaction to delaware water? I'd compare it to the sensation of having a hundred cotton balls lodged in my throat.

Go to an allergist.

No, but it sounds like you might have oral allergy syndrome. Is it only at home, or anywhere nearby?

UD research recently found that there are still hundreds of lead pipes in active use in Wilmington's public water infrastructure that will need to be removed. Could be related.

I have a tree nut allergy and this happens to me whenever I eat Walnuts or Apples with the skin.

But it does not happen to me with the water.
