Since we are on the topic of hives, iI'll give my own personal hives story !
So back when I was in high school, I had a summer job on a farm. I did a lot of different stuff, but this day I was picking corn. Anyone who has every actually been inside a corn field knows how filthy and insect-infested they are. ANYWAY I am picking corn and it's got to be like 90 degrees outside, and after a while I notice my back starts itching... and it just keeps getting worse. I could feel all these bumps on my back so I thought that perhaps some weird kind of insect got underneath my shirt and went wild. But then I realized that it was probably hives, because when I was a kid I had an allergic reaction to a cat or dog. ANYWAY the only thing that helped was to hose myself off with some cold water which helped stopped the itching.
What I think caused it was a combination of my sweat that day and all the corn dust/pollen falling down the back of my shirt. So yeah, that's my hives story !
