Is there anyone out there who has ever experienced an allergic reaction to Hydrochloride or Sodium Chloride? Symptoms are severe nausea, headache, cold and sweaty at the same time, shaky knees and hands.

After a bit of researching my old medical sources (they may be outdated, they are nearly two years old), I have not been able to find any recorded cases of allergic reactions to the Hydrochloride itself. I have found plenty of examples of a person being allergic to the organic base of the hydrochloride though. As for allergic reactions to NaCl, they simply do not exist on the pure basis that: the ions are not big enough to trigger an allergic reaction, and that both of these ions are essential to any complex organism (no NaCl=no neurology or excretory system). And as a note of humour; the symptoms listed above could also be said of love and about a million other problems.Das Nerd 12:29, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hydrochlorate?

- I'm pretty sure hydrocloride salts can also be called hydrochlorates... but I'm always wary with the name of chloride cmpds due to inadvertantly getting the wrong oxidation state! Redirect anyone? Seansheep (talk) 08:34, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
