This ended up being caused by a tick ,,,Friend of mine had a problem- hands and parts of his face, then his arms would swell up, get puffy, each day was different- got worse went to the ERoom twice- a month went by, blood work,, Doc says this tick caused it- cant eat meat of any kind,, never heard of this crap??

If you ever want an interesting read, look up tick bourne borne illnesses. If you think about it , a tick is kind of a giant mosquito. Mosquitoes are the second most deadly animal on the planet

Alpha Gal. Just visited my Dr. last Wed. Took 4 years to beat tick borne diseases (7 of them). Luckily A G wasn't one of them.
