Unless you're allergic to PEG, you'll be fine. They'll go through your history anyway. If you have Epi-Pens, take them with you.

Hi

Yes I am allergic to both but I was fine. I did have a sore arm and 2 days afterwards I did have 2 urticaria lumps on my arm but they cleared up pretty quickly with fexofenadine and piriton. My advice would be to take your antihistamines a couple of days before leading up to the day.
