Urticaria

Urticaria are also known as Hives, welts,wheals, or nettle rash. It is a red, raised, itchy skin rash that is sometimes triggered by something that produces an allergic reaction - an allergen. When there is an allergic reaction the body releases a protein called histamine. When histamine is released our capillaries (tiny blood vessels) leak fluid. The fluid accumulates in the skin and causes a rash.

Causes of urticaria (hives)
Experts say that urticaria occurs when the body releases histamine and other chemicals from under the surface of the skin. The histamine and chemicals cause inflammation and fluid to accumulate under the skin, causing wheals
• Foods - several different types of foods have been known to trigger urticaria. The most common ones are nuts, chocolate, some citrus fruits, shellfish, food additives, eggs, and wheat products.
• Infections - including influenza, the common cold, glandular fever and hepatitis B.
• Intestinal parasites.
• Extremes of temperature.
• Some pets.
• Dust mites.
• Floods and hurricanes - skin diseases/disorders are commonly found among people after floods and hurricanes, including urticaria. Construction workers who help repair damaged structures are also more likely to suffer from skin diseases/disorders.
• Sunlight exposure (less common).
• Latex.
• Nettles.
• Some plants.
• Insect bites.
• Some chemicals.
• Chronic illness - such as thyroid disease or lupus.
• Depression

Symptoms of Urticaria
• Pruritus
• Irritation
• Skin eruptions
• Rash
• Lesions

Some precautions for urticaria
1) Eliminate the allergic cause (food, medication, contact allergen, etc.). In the same way for "pseudo-allergic" urticaria, eliminate the provoking agent.
2) Avoid factors that evoke the physical urticarias, such as excessive heat, the sun, tight clothing or irritants,etc. Also avoid vasodilatory factors which may potentialise urticaria, such as alcohol, nicotinic acid, anti-inflammatories, several anti-hypertensive medications and diverse food "irritants" (acidic foods, spices, fermented foods, charcuterie, and many exotic dishes).

  1. I never thought that I was invincible to STD s or pregnancy or anything else parents warn their kids about. I just didn’t think about it. I was in a monogamous relationship and thought that I asked the right questions.  We even talked about marriage Scary.  During that time I was in college and donated blood on a regular basis in efforts to help others when I could. As you may know, each donation is tested.  Well, on July 6th I had a meeting with a Red Cross representative and was told that I had HIV. “What went through your mind when you heard that "Rose" Good question reader!
