Absolutely Annie. If you have any kind of negative reaction to the contrast dye you should never have it again - the next time may be worse again. I don't react badly to it myself but I do know that many people do.

The link I provided indicated that people with asthma seem to be likely to have a problem (the flood of histamine probably?) I'd expect that this is the same reason MGers tend to have troubles with it.
