Extractions: Home What Is Chronic Urticaria? Useful Information Frequently Asked Questions ... Resources and Links The International Chronic Urticaria Society (ICUS) supports a cyber-society of people with chronic urticaria (CU), or hives. Chronic hives differ from acute hives in that the cause is not often determined, and many people suffer from CU for years at a time. We have an active and very supportive email list. Through the list and its very knowledgeable members, we have gathered a large amount of useful information about this often baffling disorder. In addition to information, members have found solace and support from others who struggle with the same issues, small and large. The information ICUS provides should not be considered medical advice, nor is it intended to replace consultation with a qualified physician. ICUS does not evaluate, endorse or recommend any particular medications, products, equipment or treatments. Chronic urticaria varies widely from one patient to another, and treatment must be tailored by a physician for each individual case. ICUS only advises: Be well informed on your condition. Knowledge is healthy.

Extractions: Allergy Clinic HIVES What are hives? Hives are red, very itchy, swollen areas of the skin. Hives arise suddenly and may leave quickly in 1-2 hours or can last as long as 48 hours. They often appear in clusters, with new clusters appearing as other areas clear. Physicians refer to hives as urticaria. Over one-fifth of the population has suffered an eruption of hives at some point in their lives. What causes hives? Hives can be caused by allergic or non-allergic mechanisms. In a majority of chronic cases, the exact cause is unknown. Often hives are caused by an adverse reaction to some food or drug. Foods likely to cause hives include chocolate, nuts, tomatoes, shellfish, and berries. Drugs often responsible for producing hives are penicillin, sulfa, anticonvulsants, phenobarbital, as well as aspirin, or food colored by tartrazine, which is yellow food dye #5. What are some other causes of hives? A common cause of hives is dermatographism, which occurs in 5% of the population. It is caused by stroking of the skin or rubbing as occurs with scratching or tight-fitting garments. Cholinergic urticaria is the medical profession's term for hives which can develop after activities which increase the body's temperature after exposure to warmth or heat. Such activities include a warm bath, shower, jacuzzi or hot tub use, exercise, a fever, or emotional stress. It has been estimated that 5% to 7% of patients who have hives experience the phenomenon of cholinergic urticaria.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Q: I am a 52 year-old menopausal woman with hot flashes and periodic heavy menstrual flow. For the past five months I have had a severe case of hives. They disappear for 2-3 days and then return and cover my entire torso and legs, causing extreme itching. Periodically my face and lips swell up. My doctor put me on anti-depressant medicine, but this gives me minimal relief. The only other medicines I take are Inderal for rapid heartbeat and Levothyroxine for low thyroid. He told me this condition can last from 6 months to 2 years and little else can be done to give me more relief. Can you please give me a diagnosis and a possible treatment to eliminate this problem? A: In your case the diagnosis, chronic urticaria, is easy, but the treatment is not. Urticaria, which is the medical term for "hives," can be an acute one-time event or can persist for weeks or months. If the hives last for more than 6 weeks, it is called chronic urticaria. In over half of people, chronic urticaria usually lasts less than a year, so there's still hope for you.

The welts may be as small as a mosquito bite (often-termed papular urticaria) or an inch or more in diameter. The can be sparse or so plentiful that they merge into large collections of irregularly shaped welts, called erythema multiforme. (A similar rash, called erythema marginatum, can be a consequence of an untreated by strep throat and has a flat or slightly irregular raised edge and a large skin-colored center.) Whether they are small and sparse or large and grotesque, parents are often concerned about hives. Urticaria is a physiologic response to some event that incites an immune response. It may occur in people who are exposed to allergens (proteins that a person is allergic to). Allergens can be in foods, airborne inhalants, contact proteins applied to the skin or contained in germs (bacteria and viruses). When our bodies recognize allergens, we make specific antibodies directed against each allergen. The combination of antibodies and allergens circulate in our bloodstream until they are eliminated. While in our circulation, they cause local dilatation of the cutaneous blood vessels that allows more local blood accumulation, appearing as flat or raised red blotches in the skin. The increased blood flow to the area stimulates the cutaneous nerves, causing itching.

Extractions: By By Lorraine Ali Newsweek July 19, 2004 issue - A decade ago the Hives started playing in punk bars near their tiny, woodsy hometown of Fagersta, Sweden. It would be fair to say that not everybody warmed to them. "The fact that we wore suits was enough to piss people off because they thought we were bankers," says singer Howlin' Pelle Almqvist. "It didn't help that we would then announce we were better than anything they'd ever heard, and launch into a really short set for, like, 25 minutes at maximum energy. People were used to hour-and-a-half-long rock jams with no energy whatsoever. They'd feel cheated, and jump on stage to beat us up. It was like, 'Go ahead, bruise me, but don't touch the suit. I have a show tomorrow'." Almqvist pauses. "We've always taken the Muhammad Ali approach to rock, and called ourselves the greatest band ever," he says. "We were just waiting for everyone else to realize it." The Hives, with their ecstatic guitar riffs, their white spats and their Colonel Sanders ties, are certainly the most charismatic-if not stylized-rock phenomenon in years. The band first made it on to America's radar a few years back, part of a garage-rock renaissance that also included the Strokes, the White Stripes and the Vines. All the bands' names seemed interchangeable-code language for cool-but the Hives set themselves apart with their CD "Veni Vidi Vicious," which went on to sell 400,000 copies. Now their new label, Interscope, is banking on the band's follow-up, the fabulously scrappy and engaging "Tyrannosaurus Hives," to become

Extractions: An eight-legged, blood-sucking parasite known as the varroa mite ranks as one of the worst enemies of honey bees worldwide. About one-sixteenth inch in size, Varroa jacobsoni mites have attacked in nearly every state, killing bees needed for making honey and for pollinating an estimated $8 to $10 billion worth of crops. Varroa mites feed on the blood of adult bees and developing young bees that are still soft, white pupae. Parasitized bees may have deformed wings and abdomens and a shorter life span than their unparasitized hivemates. What's more, varroa mites are thought to transmit at least a half-dozen bee viruses. But honey bees that can tolerate attack by the mite may hold an important key to stopping today's devastating losses to this parasite.

Extractions: Tips to Remember: Allergic Skin Conditions Red, bumpy, scaly, itchy, swollen skin-any of these symptoms can signify an allergic skin condition. These skin problems are often caused by an immune system reaction, signifying an allergy. Allergic skin conditions can take several forms and are due to various causes. Hives and angioedema Hives or urticaria are red, itchy, swollen areas of the skin that can range in size and appear anywhere on the body. Approximately 25% of the U.S. population will experience an episode of hives at least once in their lives. Most common are acute cases of hives, where the cause is identifiable-often a viral infection, drug, food or latex. These hives usually go away spontaneously. Some people have chronic hives that occur almost daily for months to years. For these individuals, various circumstances or events, such as scratching, pressure or "nerves," may aggravate their hives. However, eliminating these triggers has little effect on this condition. Angioedema, a swelling of the deeper layers of the skin, sometimes occurs with hives. Angioedema is not red or itchy, and most often occurs in soft tissue such as the eyelids, mouth or genitals. Hives and angioedema may appear together or separately on the body. Hives are the result of a chemical called histamine-responsible for many of the symptoms of allergic reactions-in the upper layers of the skin. Angioedema results from the actions of these chemicals in the deeper layers of the skin. These chemicals are usually stored in our bodies' mast cells, which are cells heavily involved in allergic reactions. There are several identifiable triggers that release histamine and other chemicals from the mast cells, causing hives.

Most often, no cause for hives can be identified. Clusters of hives may as an allergic reaction to one or more factors (irritants) such as foods, medications, insect bites or stings, infections, or emotional stress. Histamine, a body chemical, is released in response to the irritant that causes the hives to form. These hives or wheals may appear on any part of the body, but are most common on the arms, legs, and trunk. The rash may last for a few minutes or several days. It may recur and can be uncomfortable. In the case of a severe reaction to a bee sting, for example, your face and throat may swell. Hives may rarely cause problems with breathing, creating the danger of suffocation.

They might be accompanied by local or generalized swelling (angioedema). They often come and go. Hives might worsen with overheating, stress, and dry skin. Hives can be caused by many things, including drugs, food, animal dander, and insect bites. Hives can also occur following some infections (mycoplasma and certain viruses). Finding the cause often requires considerable "detective work" and patience. Detailed history, skin testing and environmental control are some of the tools used to identify the cause. This process can take several weeks. Treatment typically involves avoiding the causative agent, avoiding factors known to worsen hives, and regular suppressive therapy with an antihistamine. Use the Eczema guidelines for dry skin. Allergy shots may be offered in certain situations. Acute hives resolve in less than six weeks. Chronic hives often last at least one year.
