Hunter's Bizarro Hives

This all started a few weeks ago when I made pumpkin bread for the first time this year and apparently the first time in Hunter's life.  I made some muffins out of my leftover batter for the boys.  They ate probably 8-10 muffins between the two of them.  All I know is I left them on the table and the next time I saw the pan it was almost empty!  That day he started having small red bumps that looked like mosquito bites.  He had been outside playing so at first that's what I thought they were, but I noticed they were mostly on his rear end, where no mosquito could have had access to.  I wondered if it was another kind of bug like a spider or something.  The next day he had a slice of pumpkin bread and by bath time that night, they seemed to be even larger and had spread down the backs of his legs.  We were so confused about what it could be, but suspected the pumpkin bread.  We gave him some allergy medicine and the hives were pretty much gone the next day. 

I made pumpkin bread again a few weeks later and decided to experiment with it.  He knew from the last experience that it wasn't a good idea.  "I told you I'm sick of pumpkin bread!"  Translation:  Pumpkin bread makes him sick.  I told him I wanted him to try it again, just to see what happens.  So we did and there was quite a hives explosion.

They started pretty quickly after he had the bread and they continued to spread and spread all over his entire body, instead of just his rear end area like last time.  They lasted a little more than a week and moved around everywhere.  One day he would have one on his face in a certain place.  The next day it would be moved to another location on his face.  There were big ones & small ones.  It was crazy!  We debated on taking him to the doctor, but after some online research, we decided to wait and see, especially since he was acting completely normal and not in any pain.  After about a week, they FINALLY went away.  We are glad to have him back to normal and will make sure he avoids pumpkin bread in the future!  We aren't sure exactly what ingredient in the bread is causing it, but are just going to avoid all pumpkin for now.

Trevor and I think it's strange that we have never been allergic to anything but our kids have crazy allergies like this.  Weird!
