I became allergic to Iodine after numerous scans. I can tell you it came as a total surprise to me. I was in the Catscan Machine and suddenly I felt like my sinus was burning as well as my eye swelled up. I was immediately escorted to a private area and examined and observed for hours.
I now have to be pre medicated with steroids and benadryl in order to avoid the Iodine allergy. I was also told at some point even these drugs may stop working. It is something to think about as we all must be scanned Allergies can happen anytime so BEWARE.
