Hey /fit/,

kind of different thread today.

Back in high school, I started noticing that whenever I would eat spicy food, my head and face would start to feel slightly itchy. It would go away whenever I stopped eating the food. It didn't even need to be that spicy. However, the itchiness was minimal and I could ignore it most of the time. I'd say it started in 11th Grade.

Graduated, etc, and went to college. Now I started noticing that the itchiness got worse and worse whenever I ate spicy food. But I love spicy food, so I never stopped eating it.

During the winter, I noticed something odd. Whenever I would go to the food hall to get a burger or something, I'd have to walk 5 or so minutes in freezing temperatures. When I would enter the building, which was at room temperature, my face and head would gradually start to itch until it almost became unbearable. After 2-3 minutes the feeling would pass, however.

So now it wasn't only spicy food, but sudden changes in temperature.

What could explain this allergy, /fit/?

Do you shower more than once a day?

The sudden changes in temperature are completely unrelated to the spiciness. I've experienced the same thing, when coming back inside from the freezing cold. I think it's just blood returning to your extremities. For instance, I would notice my fingers would get just a little fat from all the blood rushing in.

Nah, usually only once.


Someone I know mentioned it could be an increased reaction due to the histamines released when an allergic reaction occurs. any ideas on this?
