Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Doesn't sound like dmsa. It is not noted for causing this. Likely it is something he ate or was exposed too. My sister had chronic issues with hives and it can be anything from food related to laundry soap to as in her case playing on a wooden swing set (seems that antimony causes a rash with direct contact). Obviously not the case here. But I would lean towards the pineapple. How old is he? Food allergies do not always come up the first time you have a food, but usually the second time. So if he has pineapple last year and did ok, then not ok this time. That is characteristic. This really sounds like pineapple allergy. > > Hi there, > > We stopped chelaton of our second round of DMSA on Tues. He was on > for 4 1/2 days and his last dose was at 2pm.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Thanks for the replies!! My son is 39 lbs. It now looks like more like big red patches on his chest, neck, belly and other spots. There are spots spread around as well. He is so itchy. Would activated charcoal help with this possibly? It started out looking like little round welts like a bite and has moved into patches, does this sound right? I am just wondering if I should take him into the Dr. I know there isn't much they can do for hives but wait it out, but since it looks so red and patches, I am wondering if it is something else like shingles or something. He doesn't seem to be in any pain, just itchy. He is playing as usual. Any idea how long this lasts for those of you have experienced it?

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I would take him to a doctor to diagnose what it is. Every time something like this happened with my daughter the doctor wanted to actually see the spots when they were happening so that they could decide between hives, contact dermatitis, other possibilities. My daughter had many episodes of hives while she was growing up. Sometimes they lasted 24 h, sometimes one week. The pediatric allergist said it could be from something she ate, something her skin came in contact with or something she breathed in. It was usually a detective game, and it helped to have some detective doctors to talk it over with. J > > Thanks for the replies!! > > My son is 39 lbs.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 You could try NAET to identify and treat allergies.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 My son broke out twice with the rash you describe. Both times it was DMSA while chelating. I ended up cutting the DMSA dose in half for the other rounds and he was fine after that. Rae > > > > > > Hi there, > > > > > > We stopped chelaton of our second round of DMSA on Tues.
