About a year ago I went into Dollar General for some paper towels and wound up buying some of their store brand devil's food cookies...the Clover Valley brand. I usually buy the Snackwell's brand at Walmart, but I wasn't driving an extra five miles for that. I ate a couple that night and woke up the next morning with an itching/burning sensation on my forearms, but went back to sleep. When I got up a couple of hours later I had all sorts of hives/welps on my forearms. I washed them with soap and water and immediately took off the bed linens and washed them, thinking maybe that had something to do with it. Over the course of a few hours they all went away.
I had a couple more of those cookies that day, and woke up in the middle of the next night and had the same hives on my arms, over much of my legs, and on my left side and chest. Again, after a few hours, they went away. At that point I thought it must be those cookies, because that was the only thing I had done different lately. I didn't eat any that day and had no problems. So I tried another one the day after that, and sure enough, I woke up with those same hives. So I haven't eaten any of them since. What the hell was in those Clover Valley devil's food cookies to make me break out?
