What type of OAK???

[shawhighlander]

Shweeeh! I thought I was gonna have to give up Scotch.
Just found out today that I have an allergy to Red Oak...I have felt badly for 2 months solid, and when I read the allergen "red oak" I immediately remembered all the scotch I have had during this season and thought perhaps I was exacerbating the problem by ingestion.

Hope you guys are right, cause I like my Scotch.
Slainte Mhor!

When you drink a lot of scotch do you suffer blurred vision, slurred speech, light headedness, inability to walk properly and occasional vomiting? I get that when I drink Southern Comfort, maybe I'm allergic to red oak.

That isn't an allergy, it's a hangover. You need to add a drop or two of water to that scotch.

hahaha!
No, I actually become more sober.

unless the question is too personal, how exactly did you find this out? and how do you get exposed to it?

just curious
