hi dear, it is said that everything under the sun including the sun can cause allergic reaction. so it can be anything, which caused allergy. so it is difficult to say what caused allergy. for now u take antihistamine and apply calasoft lotion. i would suggest u not to go near bamboo tree again as i think its the pollen grains and dust from bamboo which harmed u. as u are used to the above said diet. thank u
