EDIT1:
I spoke to Mark at liftmode. He was very professional and expressed genuine concern.
I reassessed the PEA I have. Smell wise, I again believe it to have a sweet, thick aroma. Comparable to some floral notes. I also felt the smell is similar to honey. The powder itself is also somewhat malleable and sticky.
I also reevaluated solubility. With this, I essentially retract my previous statements. I allowed more time and vigorous stirring of ~125mg in ~7Oz water. I noticed the substance initially stayed at the surface of the liquid and panned out. Upon stirring for a bit, it began to dissolve, dropping down into the liquid, leaving a wisp like trail (very similar to dropping a strong acid such as HCL into water), appearing like a viscous liquid was dropped into the water. It seems I was off base in my previous account of solubility.
In terms of taste, I had previously tasted ~5-10mg, and noted "it tasted rather unpleasant. a sharp taste? acidic like perhaps. reminded me if you put your tongue on a 9v battery."
Lastly, in terms of my symptoms. It has been nearly ~60hours since ingestion and I do still have some redness and itching. If you call the peak of the reddn…

Have you tried PEA with an MAOI to compare? The effects should be much greater.
The quercetin in Emergen-C amounts to 1mg. That is nothing. I take 500mg doses of quercetin with no adverse interactions with any stimulants. Also, phenylethylamine is not metablized by CYP3A4. The quercetin is not to blame here.
