Apparently, I've just become allergic to penicillin. I've taken it rarely over my life and never had an issue, but due to a particularly nasty throat and ear (both) infection, I was put on some really strong ones that knocked me for 6. I was violently ill within hours of taking one.
Anyway, Doc tells me today that I'm allergic. So.... what does that mean (apart from the obvious). Whenever I get a virus/illness now I just have to suck it up??

How many people are allergic to penicillin?
