Personal Health Service on Hives and Allergic Reactions
Hives or urticaria is a sudden itchy skin eruption with wheals lasting minutes to hours. It is an anaphylactic or allergic reaction triggered by substances such as aspirin, quinine, opium, chloral, arsenic, or certain foods absorbed into the bloodstream.
Remedies for hive attacks including parasite links and treatments
The column outlines that round worms pinworms or tapeworms may trigger hives. It prescribes a saline purge using Epsom salts or magnesium citrate, a light diet for a day or two, tepid baths with saleratus or oatmeal, and drying with a soft towel. Calamine lotion zinc oxide glycerin and lime water mix provides relief, with carbolic acid optional for extreme itching. A camphor zinc oxide corn starch dusting powder soothes, and most ordinary hives leave no scar though rare infancy-onset cases may recur.
