Allen was excited to try kratom. He had just received his order at his doorstep and could not wait to open the pack and have some of this mind-blowing herb that everybody was talking about. He measured 1 gram of kratom powder on his brand new digital scale that he had bought especially for this herb.
Next, he tossed it in his mouth and gulped down a glass of water. He had learned it from the various articles and blogs doing the round on the internet on how to take kratom.
Everything went fine, but after a few minutes, he threw up.
What happened?
Allen was confused. He had bought kratom in Colorado from a licensed vendor. Yes, it was bitter in taste, and, according to his user friends, he might feel nausea. But he had not expected to throw up.
Is Allen allergic to kratom or just sensitive?
What experts say
It is important that you listen to your body and know the difference between allergy and sensitivity.
Allergy is an overreaction by the body to something that you ingest or touch. This is a quick process. Also, if you are allergic to something, you won’t be able to consume that thing in any form. As soon as you take it, your body will overreact.
Sensitivity is an attempt by your body to adjust to a new thing. This may cause unpleasant symptoms, but they go away with time. Also, you can take the thing again (in small amounts), and the next time, your symptoms are lesser in severity than the first time. Eventually, your body adjusts, and you get no unpleasant side effects. Your body needs time to adjust to the new thing.
It is vital that you know whether you are allergic to kratom or simply sensitive.
In addition, you must be sure you are taking the highest quality kratom. Sometimes, a simple case of throwing up can be due to consuming mediocre quality or contaminated kratom. Search for “kratom shop near me” to connect only with licensed and quality vendors who deal with pure kratom products.
How to know whether you are allergic or sensitive?
Let’s go back to Allen to understand this. Allen threw up minutes after taking kratom for energy. But this does not indicate he has an allergy. He must take kratom again the next day but in very small doses.
If he throws up again or gets additional symptoms like itching or redness on the skin, he must stop taking kratom and never touch it again. When each time you take kratom, you get an unpleasant symptom, which means you are allergic to it.
But, if he takes kratom again after a day or two and feels nausea, but does not throw up, he is not allergic. His body is only trying to adjust. The second time, you must lower the dose further to let your body adjust to the new herb. For example, if you took 1 gram of Red Bali Kratom Powder and threw up. Take 0.5 gram the next time. Give your body time to adjust and increase the dose gradually. Hadlines
