Could Extensive Hives And Itching Be Due To Intake Of Almond Butter?
Hi, I am a wondering if possibly tainted with salmonella almond butter could cause extensive hives and itching for two weeks after ingesting it....I just found out about a recall from trader Jo s on the raw almond butter and I ate it once about two weeks ago...trying to out together why I am broken out in hives still with intense itching....I also have cancer. Didn t feel great the last two weeks...some diarrhea. Think you!

Hi there. Thanks for the trust on virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case and yes it is possible that you r allergic to some ingredients of that almond butter. Take anti-allergic pill one daily for 7days (fexofenadine120mg is good one)
. Avoid that almond butter again and remember its ingredients and to be on safe side never use such a thing with any of those ingredients.
Hope you get well soon
