Ankles, Hands, Buttocks, Thighs Have Itching. Had Chocolates And Dry Fruits. What Went Wrong?

Hi. I'm going to give you the run down of the other day. I ate some granola with chocolate and dried fruits that was probably expired. I put on some pants that were sitting in a room for a while unworn and inside out. I put them on. A little while later my thighs began itching terribly. then I put on a sweater i hadnt worn in a while and my elbows starting itching terribly. that started yesterday afternoon. since then I've been itching all over, but it feels like it travels and it happens on both sides of my body at the same time in the same locations..both hands..both ankles, both buttocks... both thighs. It's worse at night and early in the morning. This morning I was itching really badly, but it seemed to have subsided some. Can you please tell me what this is?
