Results: Allergies out of no where?
Published on 12/07/2016
In the past few years I have become allergic to many foods that I use to not be allergic to. The first thing was strawberries. I use to eat them or other foods with strawberry in it all the time. Then one day I broke out in hives after eating one. Since then if I eat anything with strawberries I break out in hives. I just found out the other day I am now allergic to Butterscotch (candies/pudding) out of no where.
