In the past, sometimes when I have eaten fish or seafood I have had a light, no itchy blotchy rash on my neck, check and upper arms. But it has been and gone very quickly. And it isn't linked generally to anything in particularly, although seafood and smoked fish are more likely to cause it. But as the reaction is so gentle I don't pay any attention to it and generally forget until I have it happen again.
However, last night I came out in big red blothces all over my face and neck, and more blotches on my upper body. It is also really itchy. One eye is also red and bloodshot. This morning it looked even worse. By the time I got to work my make up was no longer covering it at all and the itching was driving me mad. I am still itchy and my face is still pretty bad, although the blotches have faded from my arms.
Only thing I can put it down to is seafood. On Saturday night I had prawn noodles. On Sunday at my parents I had prawns, mussels and smoked salmon. The left overs I took home and had on Monday lunch. Has to be this doesn't it? Is this a food intolerance proper then - do I need to avoid seafood? Is it ikely to get like this each time, or liekly to be a one off?
Can't find any antihistimines in the house. Didn't buy any on way home as was so sure we had piriton in the house. Hope it goes soon.
