Bev,
Hay isn’t a specific type of plant, but one of several types of semi-dried plants used to feed animals. Hay could be made up of various types of grasses, including sometimes wheat, or legumes (lentil/pea family). So probably you are allergic to certain types of hay, or just irritated by the type of dust you get from hey, or something like that.

Surely it must be either one of the ingredients, or an unlisted ingredient used in processing. It might be worth noting the ingredietns so if he ever gets the same reaction from something else, you might narrow down the cause.
Lips tingling and burning, mouth and throat swelling, pain in the chest, difficult to breathe and impossible to talk within seconds of digesting strawberry mini wheats is quite dangerous. Rushed to the ER and given antihistamines. Still under the doctor’s care several weeks later with sore throat and lungs, and possibly the end to a singing career. Not nice.
I personally have had an allergic reaction after ingesting pizza and potato wedges. Narrowed it down to pyrophosphate – a food additive and metal cleaner that should be handled during processing wearing a respirator and protective clothing. I’m thinking this singer’s symptoms were the same as mine only 1000 times worse. I was uncomfortable for about a day and didn’t need medical care. However, this fellow is in a lot of distress.
