This is a list of “Nonimmunologic histamine releasers other degranulation triggers” from the Mastocytosis Society of Canada. Please see their website for more information about Mastocytosis triggers.
I just read that mast cell diseases are inherited, and this list makes me wonder if this comes from my dad’s side of the family. I know that he was allergic to quinine, which is on this list, and if I remember the story right, one of his brothers died when given a radioactive dye during an MRI or CT Scan. I got very sick the last time I was given dye during an MRI, and immediately broke out in hives.
