I think I may actually be allergic to echinacea -- the few times I've tread things containing it, I got the same reaction, which feels something like a swollen lymph node or tonsil, and is super painful. I've not had that sensation except after a smoothie with an immunity or coldbuster boost and after taking that hall's defense drops with echinacea and zinc. It's possible there's another common ingredient that's the real culprit, but I'd rather not experiment further just now.
