reaction

[nextqueen]

this is a related subject to my hayfever injection question previously so i am reposting.

we walked to the pub down a narrow almost overgrown alley. i had long trousers on. there were nettles and brambles and flies. in the pub i had a double vodka and red bull which contains taurine and is a stimulus i believe. on way back home my legs felt really itchy. i had shaved them today by the way. when we got in, i was so so itchy and had red lumps so thought i had been bitten. i put savlon on first and then antihistamine cream hc54 or something. i was dying to scratch! then small little bumps came up too, only from ankles to knees. i took a antihistamine tablet and it subsided after 30 minutes. i really dont know what it was, wasnt bites and dont think and undergrowth didnt get me through my trousers. wondering as ive had this cortisone injection whether it was a reaction to what i drank, if not then a mystery. seems odd how i shaved there too and no other part of body affected but wasnt little red dots you sometimes get after shaving. any ideas anyone? was this a reaction to something?weird too how my injection didnt help this but tablet doing same job did. i still have large red lumps on my legs but not itchy now. what a mystery!

If you brushed against the nettles it's likely they stung you. They do get you through your clothes, I've got some in my garden!

the nettles were only on one side of me down the path yet i had blotches on both legs randomly spread.
