I was wondering if it was something seasonal. I checked the pollen count for my area, but it's zero, of course.
I'm feeling much better today. I'm still getting hideous red welts anywhere my skin subs against fabric, but for some reason, they aren't nearly as itchy as they were last night. I took some Tylenol PM before going to bed, which I think has an anti-histamine in it. Maybe that's still having an effect, I don't know.
I really hope it's not a shellfish allergy -- I LOVE shellfish! I did eat oysters a couple days ago, but I don't think the timing fits that well. It's not a nut allergy, but it could be eggs, tuna, milk products since I eat quite a bit of all of those.
Apparently you can get hives (or more accurately, "urticaria") from sudden changes in skin temparature. It's been unseasonably cold here, so that's always a possibility... that would be weird though, because I've lived in much colder climates before.
