A WOMAN’S lips swelled up to cartoonish proportions as she hilariously live tweeted her allergic reaction.
Amiyah Evans, 18, decided to switch up the shop from which she buys her meat, and discovered the unfortunate result when she woke up the following day.
Amiyah, from Clinton, Mississippi, ate a burger on Friday night which turned into an unexpected swollen lip that blew up to an unimaginable size.
Amiyah started taking photos and videos of her lips and took to Twitter to share her discovery.
She tweeted: “lesson of the day: stick to what you know. buy things you always buy.. it doesn’t hurt to try new foods but SHEESH. just pray you don’t look like me in the end.”
Her tweet instantly blew up, racking up over a whopping 173k likes and over 55k retweets.
It’s funny. I’m glad that I can give other people a good laugh about it

She told Buzzfeed: “It got bigger every hour. It just kept growing and then I went to a clinic around 4.00 when I thought it was getting out of my hand.”
She said that she went to see doctors about her swelling, but after they gave her Benadryl – a standard allergy medication – her swelling did not go down.
Three hours later, she was in hospital and was struggling to get words out through her fully swollen lips.
She ended up spending a couple of days in the hospital being treated, saying that comments from people kept her going.
She added: “It’s funny. I’m glad that I can give other people a good laugh about it.”
In another post of selfies, she wrote: “I LOOK SO STUPPIIDDDDDDDDD.”

Amiyah told Buzzfeed: “I didn’t really panic about it at first because my siblings were making fun of me anyway, so I just made a big joke out of it.”
She also tweeted: “for everyone asking… I bought some hamburger meat from Sam’s Club instead of where I normally get food which is walmart annnddd.. this happened.”
Amiyah is now out of hospital but still has some swelling in her face, however her lips are back to normal.
