Answer 1

This has been my experience over the years when dealing with hives.

Sometimes it is more important to cleanup an environment that can be  triggering the hives.

This is the absolute BEST Allergy info.

Being a nurse with over 25 years experience, I have seen a lot of patients with similar illnesses and disorders. Below are many things a doctor or allergy clinic will not tell a patient.

Many Allergy, itching and Hive problems are caused from common everyday chemicals and fragranced products as well as VOC's in homes, schools and workplace.

This is a growing problem for many people and most are not even aware that it exists as more and more chemicals are being introduced and used on a daily basis.

Many people believe that because a product smells good or cleans well and it is on a store shelf that it is tested, approved and safe for use.

Think again !

We are now seeing more and more children and adults with skin disorders, nausea, Allergies, Headaches, Sinusitis, Migraines, Asthma, Chronic Hives, Eczema, sinus / respiratory illnesses and Hormone related disorders.

I can not emphasize how important it is to educate yourself about the harm you may be doing to your health by using chemicals and fragranced products.

Most doctors will not inform you about this because patients as a whole like to walk out of a doctors office with a prescription for some magical medicine and they do not want to be told that their expensive new perfume or newly installed carpet or fresh house paint may be the culprit. Also, many patients do not want to change their lifestyle to accommodate their new illness. Infact, I have even witnessed patients who increase or take multiple medications for their allergy or asthma just so that they can continue to wear their perfume or use Bounce or Febreeze. The doctor will give patients medications even though often times these meds do not eliminate the problem or often times cause other health problems because they are an added chemical in the body.

Chemicals and fragranced products are often the root of many disorders and illnesses when it comes to your health. Many of the below mentioned items are common triggers to sinus, asthma, itching, headaches, Migraines and allergy problems amongst other health issues. Get rid of them and your immune and respiratory system will thank you and you will breathe easier.

And, it is not only personal body or cleaning products causing havoc on your health….many people become ill after wearing brand new clothing, dry-cleaned clothes, installing new carpet, painting, buying a new mattress or after home renovations because of the Flame Retardants, Antimony, Benzenes, Formaldehydes, etc. used in these products. So the answer is NO, you are not imagining that 2 weeks after your home, office or classroom got renovated you started to become ill, get dizzy or have headaches. This is happening more and more these days and adults as well as children are becoming sicker and sicker.

Unfortunately, too many doctors compound the problem by prescribing chemical medications to try to alleviate the symptoms of an already chemical overloaded body and they rarely tell the patient to eliminate the chemical offenders. How many times have I seen people in the grocery store with Bounce, Glade Plug-Ins and Febreeze in their shopping cart along with a bottle of Benadryl , Migraine Excedrin and a box of Allergy Tablets ? Why don't they make the connection?

Keep in mind that your skin is the largest organ of your body and what you put on your skin gets absorbed into your body. Then ... well... then it has to be filtered by your organs which are already working real hard.

BIG NO-NO's ---- I would SERIOUSLY recommend removing all of the below from your living / working area.

No Bounce or dryer sheets - these are VERY toxic

No Febreeze - your pets will even thank you for this

No Glade Plug-ins - VERY toxic

No drinking of Unfiltered tap water

No Scented candles

No Scented Dish Detergents

No Fragranced Products on Body, Hair or Clothing

No Smoke

No Newspapers and Magazines - The ink is a huge irritant.

No Dander

No Sprays

No Sharpies (marker pens)

Put a filter on your shower head to filter out the Chlorine and chemicals if you are on "city water" because Chlorine is a huge irritant. There are MANY other chemicals in "city water" so it is best to filter it so that the chemicals are not breathed in or absorbed through your skin.

In addition, New Cartpeting, a new house, paint, sheetrock, formaldehyde, laminate floors, mattresses, ALL contain formaldehyde ans other toxins that can trigger severe respiratory disorders as well as headaches and Asthma flare-ups.

And remember, it is NOT the smell it is the Chemicals that make up the smell. So, even if something is "Fragrance Free" these products often mask the smell with another chemical ! There are plenty of safe healthy products out there that work well and do not have added chemical fragrances.

More and more workplaces & schools are implementing Fragrance Free policies and creating "Fragrance Free Zones"… why do you think this is? Make the connection, your lungs , immune system and your general health will thank you.

Answer 2

I,ve given this little bit of good advice many times on answers, but here we go.This is gonna probubly sound really gross to you but, next time you want a pee, take a little bit of cotton wool in the loo with you, and then pee some on the cotton wool, then gently pat the cotton wool AND its contents onto the hives.Dont wash it off for a while, just let natures elements work on the hives, believe me, this remedy really works, and NO it wont smell. I hope you,ll try this, you will be amazed at the results.Good luck, you,ll thank me for this i promise you.
