What Causes All Over Body Itching With Body Aches?
I currently have itchy palms, gums basically itch all over to include my lungs. I do not have any types of hives. I also have been feeling run down and body aches for the last several weeks. I had blood work done and they said my encinophils were elevated at 500.

Hi,
The possible causes of eosinophilia could be due to allergy,parasitic infection or auto immune,it can be rarely due to malignancy but your case is look like parasitic infection.
You first go for routine blood, urine and stool examination, then consult physician or dermatologist for further co relation with clinical symptoms.
See,the main thing is to diagnose first rather than taking symptomatic treatment.
May be you will require antihelminthic drugs with symptomatic medication.
Thanks and don't worry you will be alright.
