Salsa and swollen lips?!?

I decided to be very domestic this year and make my own salsa. I used seasonings from a kit but also added a few extra jalapenos. In the end this salsa ended up being super spicy - my husband had to add sour cream to it, and he can usually handle spicier things than me. So last night he had a bowl of salsa and sour cream with taco chips. Luckily, I was being a very good girl and didn't have any. In the middle of the night, he woke me up to tell me that his lips were swollen. I, being a loving wife, told him to go back to sleep. So when we woke up this morning, his lips were HUGE! I've never seen anything like it. He wouldn't let me take a picture, probably scared I would post it on facebook.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Was it just from the peppers or was it an allergic reaction? I gave him some antihistimines before he left for work, I'm not sure if they're working or not, but I figured they couldn't hurt. And the really sucky part is that now I've got 7 pints of salsa that we're afraid to eat - maybe we should give it to people we don't like?

P.S. I know that the web is not the best place to get medical advice, but my husband will only go to the doctor if he thinks he's dying.

P.P.S. My husband's face this morning was probably the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.
