Extremely strong reaction to...pumpkin?

Yesterday I ate a lot of pumpkin and I had the worst type of reaction to it. My body reacted the same way it reacts to mold. Extreme leg cramping, sweating, gastroparesis, brain fog etc. Are pumpkins that susceptible to mold? I thought it would be a safe alternative to potatoes. I never had such intense reactions to any other food before. This might just be a me issue but has anyone else experienced this?

This whole time I thought I had swollen lymph nodes because of covid but turns out it's actually my salivary glands. My hypothesis is that covid weakened my immune system so much that the mold was finally able to colonize me. Does anyone else have this or any issues w the sinuses? I haven't been able to get rid of it since I'm still stuck in exposure.
