My vote is with scarlet fever. I had it because I had strep several years ago. It was the most horrible, painful, itchy rash I have ever seen!!! It covered my entire body. Sorry. You really need to be seen to make sure of what it is!!!!

If you feel any tingling in your tongue or start to have swelling in your mouth OR tongue, you need to go to the Emergency Room at the nearest hospital.

I had never been allergic to anything in my life and then on January 1, 2008, I began getting hives in different places.

Since then, I have found out that I am extremely allergic to PEANUTS, BANANAS, AVOCADOS, LATEX, BEANS, PEAS and a few other wonderful things.

I had used Latex gloves for 25 years previous to that. I loved Banana Cream Pie, I loved Guacamole. I LOVED peanuts, I loved chili. I loved peas, fresh or cooked. Can't do any of it anymore. Made the mistake once of having a bite of banana cream pie. Had I not had an inhaler and benedryl ready to chew up, I might have been on the other side.

I've been diagnosed with "Auto-immune Hives" There is no cure. There is no treatment. I simply find I'm OK if I only eat those things that I know don't cause problems... and keep myself from stress. Simple stress will also cause it. It is in the same family of diseases as arthritis, lupus, Reynauds Syndrome and fibromyalgia.

The other day I had a raspberry filled dark chocolate. Two hours later my upper lip looked grotesque.

Monitor it closely, write down everything that you put in your mouth, on your body etc... dish soap, laundry soap, cologne etc...

How are you doing, BirdBoy? My thoughts have been with you all night. Hope you are fine!

Starting to get a bit concerned about him, myself.

Haven't heard a thing from him and I generally do. I hope his mother just made him go home with her so she could keep an eye on him.

Hey everyone and good morning.

i am alright

i did however find out that i am allergic to Tylenol and i was also taking Tylenol cold plus for my flu

the hospital didn't give me anything all they said was to take Benadryl so i have...i have been taking 2 Benadryl pills every 4 hours and rubbing on Cortizone 10 plus and so far all of it is gone but there are a few spots where it's still at but if i stick to the Benadry every 4 hours and rubbing on the cream it should be all gone by the end of today

instead of staying over my parents my mom stayed with me so that helped a lot

Thanks everyone for your concern you all were big help in this as well

i couldn't thank you enough
