Could This Jawline Itching Be Due To Mushrooms?

last night before bed i was a little itchy around the jaw line, once in bed my entire face became unbearably itchy before slowly moving down my body to my upper legs over a couple of hours, i obviously could not sleep until it subsided. this was very unusual and the only thing i ate which was different from the usual was mushrooms in a rice around 3:30pm, itchiness started at 11pm.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of itching along the jaw line, then the whole face became itchy and spread to the whole body. Took mushrooms as unusual diet .
Yes, certainly the mushrooms or something that is used to cook mushrooms have caused this.
I would advise you the following:
Consult your Doctor as you can have repeated reactions till mushroom is washed out of the body, hence better to be on medication for at least 3 days.
Take a pledge not to eat mushrooms again as the next reaction can be severe.
