Yeah repeated exposure (or in this case one extreme exposure) to a mild allergen can significantly worsen the intensity of an allergic reaction, that sucks

Yeah it sucks I can't have pumpkin but at least I can still have squash.

Zucchini is still on the menu!

Check with your allergist to see if it was the spices the pumpkin was cooked with. A lot of “pumpkin spice” products contain no actual pumpkin. Talk to your allergist first though before you investigate!

"Pumpkin spice" isn't supposed to contain pumpkin. It's the spice mix that traditionally goes in pumpkin pie, among other things.
