from "Popsicle-induced anaphylaxis due to carmine dye allergy" (found at
http://www.med.umich.edu/intmed/allergy/carmine.htm):

	IgE-mediated responses to food colorants are rarely reported (1,2).
	Carmine, a biogenic dye added to foods, cosmetics and drugs has been
	implicated, however, in occupational asthma (3-6), extrinsic allergic
	alveolitis (7,8), cheilitis (9,10), gastrointestinal complaints (4),
	urticaria/angioedema, asthma (11) and anaphylactic shock (10,12). 

mmmmm. tasty. carmine's not just made from beetles, but apparently wonderfully
healthful as well. enjoy.
