Have you ever had Hives or Allergic Reaction?

I actually did get hives one time while I was at work and I was drinking a strawberry milkshake. Hives just broke out all over my face and my face was red all over. But I think that I may have been stressed as well because this was a temporary job and my assignment was about to be over and I was going to be without work for a while.

Hi jane, Yes I've had hives and they can come from stress or an allergic reaction. It can be very difficult to tell what it came from sometimes. Stress can cause to many different symptoms from emotional to physical. You can really make yourself physically ill from emotional stress. People don't realize how serious it can be when you get upset about things how they can make you very physically ill. And one of the ways is hives or rashes that are hard to pinpoint where they come from. The can appear and then disappear just as fast as they came and you may never know if it was an allergic reaction to something or just a nervous reaction. So it is best to try to remain calm and be aware of anything different in your environment so that you can narrow down whether it is an allergic reaction or a stress reaction although both can be serious and need medical treatment.
