Itching On The Body, Rashes After Eating Expired Food. Treatment?
I ate a bunch of packaged cookies recently and I found out today that the expiration date of those cookies was 5 months ago. I slept through the night while itching myself constantly, and when I woke up this morning, I developed rashes in the areas where I scratched myself.. How do I make this rash go away as fast as possible?

hello
As you have told that you have rash over the body with itching and the reaction was delayed after eating expire food
this reaction is known as allergic reaction type 1
the best treatment will be to vomit it out , it its late you will have reaction till the food in inside your body and will finish when you will go to washroom
take a bath will cool down the itching
get any antihistamine like loratadine, diphenyhydramine (you can get this over the counter) will ease your life
wear loose clothes
if severe get steroid injection from ER
hope this helps
take care
