Raised red or pale, yellow wheals, sometimes surrounded
by an inflated border on the skin might be the sign of hives food
allergies. Though hives can also develop due to non-allergic
causes, hives skin allergies that develop in response to an
allergic reaction is more common.
Hives Allergies
Over 20% of acute hives occur in response to eating
allergenic food, such as wheat, eggs, nuts, chocolate, and fish.
Welts of hives food allergies
vary in size and color. They are typically itchy, burning, and painful.
Allergies and Hives
The allergic method responsible for hives involves the
releasing of a chemical called histamine by the mast cells. When mast
cells release histamine, it circulates in skin capillaries, in the
endothelial cells, and it provokes a reaction with a leakage of liquids
from the capillaries, resulting in rashes and itchy skin.
Hives from Allergies
The most common allergens are certain types of foods,
mold spores, pollen, dust mites, animals, latex rubber, insect bites or
stings, plants, insect spores, viruses, bacteria, medications, and
environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures. If you are
prone to allergies, these are some of the allergens you will want to
avoid in order to prevent hives from developing.
Seasonal Allergies Hives
Seasonal allergies are abnormal reactions during
specific seasons, such as summer or fall, to normally harmless factors.
These allergies can also trigger hives. The most common type of this
allergy is pollen allergy, which is found on trees, weeds, and grasses.
Mold can also be a seasonal allergen.
Food Allergies and Hives
Some food allergies can also trigger hives. Certain
foods that may be responsible for this include fish, wheat, egg, and
peanuts, etc. Infants are more prone to this type of allergy; however,
anyone can suffer the consequences of food allergies, including the
type that produces hives.
