Heat urticaria, also called cholinergic urticaria, refers to hives caused by increased core body temperature due to active or passive body warming. The most common causes are exercise, strong emotions, hot ambient temperatures, spicy foods, and bathing in hot water. Many individuals endorse tingling, itching, or burning before the hives are visible, and then many small wheals develop. The redness can spread and coalesce to form large red areas. It usually begins on the neck and trunk and spreads to the arms and legs.
This week, remember we do not know everything. We do well to stay in a state of willingness to become aware and to share new awareness as it comes. This is true about heat, and it is true about so much more in life, too.
