Possibly an allergic reaction for which I have a good Henny Youngman story: "Henny walks into his doctor and says, 'Hey Doc! Help me out here -- it hurts when I do this: (and he waves his arm). The doctor says, "So don't DO that!" The reason I mention this is that it's so true. If you're developing a reaction to yams, don't eat yams. If it is a minor allergic reaction, it can upgrade to a major one from one time to the next, and with the airway invovled, you may wind up with a serious problem. Consider also that yams, sweet potatoes and ruby red yams are all closely related, so you had better go easy on these too. If the idea of a yam-less holiday is more than you can bear, talk to your doc and get a scratch test -- she'll be able to see if this is an allergic reaction and, if so, exactly what lights it up. Brace your wallet though -- scratch tests are rarely covered in your insurance, and out-of-pocket on this can be painful.
