This was the cringe-worthy moment a Canadian man blew up the palm of his hand like a balloon after suffering an allergic reaction to Penicillin yesterday (12 September).<br /><br />Tom B. Anderson suffered a fever, for which he was given a dose of penicillin. He experienced an allergic reaction to the medicine which gave him a bodily covered rash.<br /><br />It eventually developed into sacs of dead skin where air pockets could accumulate.<br /><br />Anderson said: "This is after a severe rash went away. My entire body is ashy and peeling. The palms of my hands were red, with some white dots. I could not make a fist. The itching was terrible."<br /><br />He later added: "The antibiotics were used in combination to fight cause of high fever and cellulitis and I have been on more than 5 different antibiotics while at the hospital."<br /><br />Anderson filmed the video at St. Mary's Hospital in the Kitchener area, near Toronto.
