How Can Allergic Itching On The Body Be Treated?
Hey, I was chopping on a palm tree stump in shorts and a short sleeve shirt and after about 15 or 20 min. my exposed skin became insanely itchy with a rash, I thought it might be sand flies or sand fleas, but now I think it might be a reaction to the juice of the palm tree. What do you think?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
The itchy rash you developed after exposing to palm tree juice could be due to allergy reaction to this juice.
Wash your skin with thorough water. Take Benadryl (oral anti-histamine). Apply anti-histamine cream on the itchy rash.
If difficulty in breathing would appear, please rush to ER immediately.
Wish fast recovery.
