Thread: full body reaction

Full body reactions can occur with bug bites, bee stings, ingestion of medication or foods that one is sensitive to. Sometimes we develop allergies over time after repeated exposures to things. For example, someone was not allergic to milk or cheeses or yogurt (basically anything dairy) their entire life. He ate pizza three times a day, every day, for about 13 to 15 years. At age 19 he began getting sick everyday and unable to participate in the activities that he enjoyed. Then after some tests were performed it was found that he had developed an allergy to cassein, an enzyme found in milk. The cheese on the pizza was making him sick. That's an extraordinary case however the point is that one can develope allergies to things later in life that they were never allergic to. Just like my former colleague from Vietnam. She had eaten shrimp (prawns) all of her life and then one day she had a reaction. Anaphylaxis. Someone should be able to help you determine what is causing your reactions. Keep Benadryl (diphenhydramine) around you all of the time in the case you have a reaction. Take Benadryl as instructed on the package and seek medical attention if the reaction doesn't get better or if the reaction started as an inability to breathe easily or if it progresses to such.
