Allergies
A strong mustard can cause the eyes to water, sting the palate, and inflame the nasal passages and throat. Homemade mustards are often far hotter and more intensely flavored than commercial preparations.
Mustard can also cause allergic reactions: Since 2005, products in the European Union must be labelled as potential allergens if they contain mustard.

Famous quotes containing the word allergies:
“I said something which gave you to think I hated cats. But gad, sir, I am one of the most fanatical cat lovers in the business. If you hate them, I may learn to hate you. If your allergies hate them, I will tolerate the situation to the best of my ability.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
