Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It means that you would have been re exposed to the allergen (the source of the allergic reaction).
You may want to consider allergy testing to determine what you causes your allergic reaction.
Allergy testing can be by blood tests or skin prick allergy testing.
Once you can determine what it causing your reaction, your exposure can be reduced.
I hope this helps
