Red And Blotchy Skin With Racing Heart After Raking Leaves In Hot Sun Followed By Food Intake. Is This Allergic Reaction?
My 32 year old son was raking leaves this afternoon. It is about 40 degrees out. He was hot when he came in. He decided to eat a Big Mac from Mcdonald's about 20 minutes after he finished raking. As he was eating his skin started to get very red and blotchy. He took a Benadryl. He felt like his heart was racing. Could this be an allergic reaction to raking the leaves?
Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query. It sounds like allergy reaction but it could have also been caused by exposure to sunlight or rarely to big mac ingredient. It is hard to say exactly,but he should always have some anitallergic medicine in pocket and avoid those possible alergenes as much as he can. Wish you good health. Regards
