Shamelessly posting for traffic as allergies is so quiet.
On Sunday I developed a red itchy rash on my legs. I'd been walking through long grass on Saturday evening so figured it was a grass allergy as I am allergic to grass. I take a prescription antihistamine so didn't really expect much of a reaction. My legs were covered too aoart from my ankles and lower calves.
Tonight my legs are pretty much covered and it's intensely itchy. I've taken fexofenadine this morning and piriton this evening to see if it calms it down.
It's been very muggy here today and I went on a 10 mile bike ride this morning, cane home and showered, ate a cheese baguette sandwich and became even itchier and the rash spread to cover most of my legs. It's an urticaria type rash. I felt quite sick after my lunch and as though I was running a fever but it went off after an hour or so and then I felt ok apart from this rash driving me crazy.
Googling the rash brought up exercise induced anaphylaxis and I was hoping somebody could tell me about it from experience. My ex-SIL has it but I am no longer in touch with her.
I have asthma, hay fever and occasional eczema but have never had this kind of reaction before. No new anything like washing powder, soap, cosmetics etc.
