I was working on a project a couple of nights ago using Mod Podge, styrofoam balls and Waverly 100% acrylic yarn and the next day had an awful case of hives. (Thank goodness for Benadryl and Hydrocortisone cream)
These 3 items, and my trip to Joann's, were the only "new" things I came into contact with in any significance. Went to work like usual, drove in my own car, ate foods/recipes I had had before, i.e., no new packages of stuff, knew the exact ingredients, etc.
Has this happened to anyone before?
It is just so odd, and miserable. I haven't had a case of hives since college and that was after taking a medication I ended up being allergic to.
Re: Has anyone gotten hives from craft stuff?
Stand up for something you believe in.
OK, glad to know that it isn't just me.
And the more I think about it, I am pretty sure it is the yarn since I have used Mod Podge before and have touched styrofoam before.
Turns out, in a brillant move (insert sarcasm font), I put the same slippers I was crating in (and getting yarn fibers on) back on my feet last night. This morning, I woke up with crazy itchy feet.
