We've been out here since July 30th, went to the beach, Disneyland, lots of restaurants, etc. We are in Vegas now (since Thursday) and yesterday we went to a large indoor swap meet. There was a booth where they were roasting various nuts and we stood near it for a few minutes before it hit me what it was.
About an hour after we got back to my sister's house she started having some itching and a few minutes later developed hives on several areas of her body. She took benadryl but an hour later was flaring up again so she took a Claritin. All seemed better but once the benadryl wore off they came right back.
By this time all of the nearby clinics were closed so my sister took us to the ER. They gave her more benadryl plus pepcid and prednisone and let us leave about 90 minutes later with prescriptions for all 3. By this morning all hives are gone. I don't know if it was from being near the roasting nuts but I can't think what else it might be. She hasn't had hives like this in 8-9 yrs.
btw she is allergic to peanuts and several different tree nuts.
