Can Food Poisoning Cause Skin Rash?
Hello: I have what looks like an allergic rash from my scalp to my legs. It came out while I had food poisoning (diarrhea and vomiting - no fever or anything else). I m not sure if it came out before or after I took Pepto Bismal (which I ve taken many times over the years), Enertol, and generic Pedialyte. It doesn t seem like any of those three would cause an allergic reaction. Is the rash just part of the food poisoning? Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your query on Healthcaremagic, I have carefully worked through your case and Allergic Rash is a common symptoms of the food Poisoning, the treatment depends of the cause but I advice you to keep a proper diet, drinking enough fluids and take care about the hygiene (washing your hands and vegetables before eat) cooking properly food from animal sources . I hope that my advice has been helpful, take care
