30 May, 2011: Death by Cucumber

[Sundae]

I'm allergic to codiene.
It gives me headaches and makes me vomit.

I found this out when I was prescribed it for consistent headaches and nausea.

(GERMANY) -- In Germany health officials have reported 365 new cases - 100 of which are serious – of a highly virulent form of an E.coli bacterial outbreak that continues to spread across Europe.

The outbreak, which is linked to contaminated vegetables, has killed 16 people and made more than 1,500 people sick in Germany, Sweden and other countries since it came to light in the middle of May.

Health officials expect many more sick people to flood hospitals and clinics with the bug in the coming days.

If you've a headache/vomiting, and they give you codeine after which you still have the headache/vomiting, how do you know if you're allergic to codeine, or it just didn't help?
