The last few days I have a bumpy rash, wonder if it could be from my Valentine candy? Can't think of anything else that is different that I could have been into. Anybody out there have an allergy to chocolate?

I did as a little girl, Nancy. I never got a rash, though, just vomited...and got a migraine. I don't tempt fate too often, and really have never acquired a taste for chocolate, so I can't say I eat enough to see if I'm really allergic!!!!

Hahaha Marybeth!! I have that same problem.
But there is an allergy to chocolate, Nancy Jo. My dd's teacher is allergic to it. But now I can't remember how it affects her. I'm thinking she said something about a rash and swelling.

If you see an allergist, there are ways to pinpoint what type of things you could be allergic to. I have a friend who DOES break out into little hives when eating chocolate, so it's not unheard of.

This time of year, if I get a rash I'm more inclined to believe it is from the dry, heated indoor air rather than than an actual allergy. Especially if you tend to take hot showers or baths. Out here in the west it's double trouble since we have such low humidity. I'd try taking cooler showers/baths and slathering on a creamier moisturizer before I'd give up chocolate! I'm such a choco-holic that if I were truly allergic they'd probably find me dead with a half eaten Milky Way in my mouth!

Funny Audrey, and I will take your advise. Giving up chocolate seems like such a sad thing.

Well Denise, then Maybe I'm not as crazy as people seem to think. Still have the bumps, but the itching isn't to bad.

| I don't have a "known" allergy, but I do not like the taste of chocolate - any chocolate. Just smelling chocolate cooking will make me start heaving and if my husband and daughter eat it and then kiss me or get close to my face, I'll start to heave. I figure it's my body telling me that that item is not good for me. I'd hate to see what would happen to me if I actually ate some. |
