I developed an autoimmune hypersensitivity condition this year seemingly out of nowhere - the annoyance is that there ISN’T a direct allergen, my skin decides randomly that it’s going to erupt in hives and if someone was to say, lightly run a fingernail down my arm during a flare - a red welt where they did this rises up like a whip mark! (Chronic idiopathic urticaria with dermatographia is the name). Life on high dose antihistamines is my future until specialist decides if there is a suitable injectable therapy to treat. He did mention that they are seeing a lot of new allergic or hypersensitivities this year - there is debate on if in the allergic cases, it’s due to prolonged breaks from handling previously commonly used agents in workplaces, and whether stress (lockdowns affecting income, etc - I’m in Sydney mind you!) is also a factor on the histamine response. Nitrile gloves are at least pretty easy to source, they’re the preferred gloves in medical areas as so many healthcare workers develop latex allergies from repeat exposure.
Can you try also swapping to hypoallergenic products in your home life to help keep the system at least “chill” in most of your day to day life? Was using an antihistamine on work days an option given to you?
