Hands swell up and itch in stores - what could cause this?
Monday, December 22nd, 2008
Travel asked:
Nearly every time I go into a retail clothing store, my hands swell up and turn red & blotchy. They also begin to itch badly. Obviously this appears to be an allergic reaction to something that I have touched, but I cannot recall this ever happening outside of a shopping mall (never in Walmart or Target). Does anyone have any idea what this could be from?
