I've had random bouts of itching on the backs of my legs for a couple months now after starting Buhner's Bart protocol. Sometimes I have bumps like folliculitis. When I first got sick I had a lot of skin symptoms. I would feel stinging like fire ants biting me. Then I'd look and see little tiny raised bump. It would usually be just one bump. Sometimes a couple. The allergist called them hives, though they didn't look like hives to me.

I took a drop of IHA (isitis, houtty , alchornia) today under my tongue. A couple hours later, the backs of my legs were itching. A little while later, a red swath appeared on the side of my knee. I looked closely and discovered a hive - a real one, about the size of a penny. It stung briefly but didn't spread or anything and went away.

Can bartonella or Lyme cause hives? Could it have been a little herx from taking houtty?

I don't know what causes what, but I have Bart and occasionally get hives. Mostly on my hands and face. Nothing to write home about. When they spring up, I drink a cup of Nettle Leaf Tea and it goes away quick. I also think herx can cause everything. I've gotten to the point where I just assume it's all lyme, it's all herx smile Best way to see if it's herx is to back off whatever you're taking and see if symptoms improve. For me, it took a few tries to get it right. You also may need to detox more. Try the nettle, it really helps me.

I got eczema with lyme. Little patches and in various places. Treatment and it went away. I think it was lyme and my thoughts are similar to 10LymeB -- I just assume it's all lyme.
