I did a bit of gardening yesterday, planted some cucumber and tomato seedlings, and I usually never get all dirty like this but there were lots of tiny bugs out yesterday and were nibbling at my arm. Well I think I got at least one mosquito bite on my wrist, or a bite of some kind. Then today several isolated 'bites' popped up on my arms and I haven't been outside and there's no flies or bugs around so I'm guessing they're hives. I got a bunch more tonight (there's only about six or seven compared to the two I had this morning) on my arms. I think I got one on my face too (either that or it's a zit, lol).
They itch like MAD and haven't stopped. I've already had chicken pox but the health anxiety monster in my head is going "WHAT IF WHAT IF". Not like I've been near anyone infected with anything and I don't have a fever...
I don't know what allergies it could have been, the only thing I have is wicked mad hayfever (which has been activated lately, I admit, even in the mornings I'm sneezing up a storm) and I don't take any medicine. I'm guessing it might have something to do with either that or something I touched in the backyard? (Our backyard's pretty wild...) Or a delayed reaction to the 'bite'? I'm a little paranoid cause the last time I thought this big ole thing was a mosuito bite I had chicken pox...I was only seven though. Traumatized...Lol. XD
In the summer I do get a different kind of hives sometimes due to the heat, sweat, and sun but those are usually tiny and located only on my hands... I also get hives whenever I take a really hot shower but they dissapear really quickly as I dry off. Sometimes my arms have kind of a dry sort of not really goosebumps but a few raised things and whenever that happens I get those kinds of hives, but this doesn't happen till it gets hot and dissapears in winter. I get like three different kinds of hives here...jeez! I've always had hive problems and skin allergies ever since I was little so it's not really a new thing but sheesh...this is a new one...similar cause I've had random isolated ones once in awhile like on my neck but not multiple ones on my arms...
Itchy...every tiny twinge I feel I'm paranoid it's a new one...
ARGH I hate having hives I always think of the worst!
