I am not sure which food additive is called "mono", this is a term normally reserved for the disease. Some meat companies have been packaging meants with carbon-monoxide to keep them redder longer. There are groups lobbying to have this declared an additive but at the present time it is not considered one. Carbon-monoxide can be dangerous to the body when inhaled in largish quantities because it bonds to red blood cells more strongly that oxygen does. And, it doesn't leave the blood cells. So, every molecule that bonds to a red blood cell means one more RBC that cannot provide oxygen to your body. So, even though you can breathe it kills by starving your body of oxygen, suffocation. It contains to proteins or organic molecules that could cause hives or other allerigic reactions. The carbon-monoxide in meat is not, in itself, dangerous. It is the fact that it will keep meat pink and fresh looking for a lot longer than regular air that is dangerous. Many shoppers use color, rather than checking the date, to ensure freshness. If the meat is kept pinker, artificially, longer then shoppers are in danger of buying older meat than they would normally choose to. There can be a lot of danger in that. Hope this helps!

Yes, absolutely. Not all allergies produce that effect, but some allergies do make you feel somewhat shaky; or they can also make you feel tense, or like you have the flu, or generally out of focus. Sometimes, these effects are not from the allergy itself but from one of the medicines prescribed to make it better. All allergy medications have side-effects, but once you find the right one and get used to taking it, the side effects should be minimal. If you have not done so, get tested for your allergies, so that your doctor can prescribe the right medication to alleviate your symptoms.
