Can Food Poisoning Cause Infection And Rashes?
I had food poisoning last year in Dec from some bad flautas, beef meat, and to this day when I eat meat I get a bad rash on my forearms, hands, neck, chest, stomach, whole upper body and sometimes, lower body. Do I still have an infection in my body?????

hi,
this can be a case of allergy to meat protein or other component of meat , you should go for patch test to confirm it, simultaneously you can also go for allergic test to other allergen to rule out them. you should go for bleeding time, platelets count and total and differential count and also stool examination for occult blood to rule out intestinal bleeding.
if allergy to only single agent is found then you should meet an immunologist for desensitisation or even for immune modulatory therapy ,till then you should avoid meat strictly.
thanks for consulting HCM.
