SG here. It started with itchy, tingly, slightly swollen hands, and then I noticed my back was feeling itchy and then my scalp. My feet started swelling and itching. We ruled out carpel tunnel, then bed bugs, lice, fleas (I shower at least once/day despite Rae & Dena's heckling), and obscure viruses. By the time we arrived in Richmond,IN (where I grew up) I was ready to head straight to the hospital because I was in misery. We finally discovered it was an allergy to nuts, which we've all been snacking on for the last week. I'd been slowing poisoning myself and then the reaction came on strong. Now I've added a life-saving steroid to my daily diet. What a birthday, eh?
