I went to the doctor with acute high blood pressure that appeared out of nowhere. Symptoms were an untreatable headache and swelling in the facial region, lasting for a few days.
In the end, I figured out that the cause was eating a big package of the same soft sweet black licorice. I even kept eating it during symptoms, making the condition worse.
My main reaction, after learning that the licorice could cause this, was how the hell is there not a huge warning on the packaging? I can only imagine how bad it could get if I had been already suffering from hypertension when eating it.
