Are Hives Contagious?

Hives may be itchy, painful, ugly, embarrassing, and just down right miserable, but are hives contagious?

Absolutely not. I do remember that when I would scratch any area, more hives would form.

But as for actually passing them on to someone else, don't worry.. that is not going to happen.

Being diagnosed 15 years ago with Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria, has been a horrible life changing experience that no one should ever have to endure.

What is Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria?

My explanation is simple. Chronic means that the hives last more than six weeks. Idiopathic is another way of saying that there isn't a determinable cause, and Urticaria is just the medical term for hives.

Normal hives treatments such as antihistamines offer very little relief to those of us in this situation. Steroids are known to be of the most help, but doctors can't give these regularly due to their dangerous side effects.

I have recently discovered a book online, that takes a natural approach to healing and stopping urticaria out breaks.

Did you know that a damaged immune system is one common denominator in chronic urticaria patients?

Focusing attention on rebuilding immunity has been considered a cure for many people, including me. I am so grateful not to have itchy, blotchy, wheels of hives covering my skin anymore.
