Hives. Is it the Mercury Rash?

[Guest guest]

I posted earlier about my son's allergic reaction to DMPS. Five days of

hives and one with mouth swelling. Is it the " reaction " to the DMPS, or the

mobilization of toxins? Are all chelators different in how they detox?

Could we possibly see this kind of drastic reaction to say: ALA, DMSA, TTFD?

I'm leaning toward ALA alone right now (don't know why, just a gut feeling).

I should have all test results next week. Yeast has been a problem in the

past so DMSA seems risky. Is this some indication of just how toxic my

little guy is? Has anyone seen this kind of " rash " that was diagnosed by Dr.

as " mercury rash? "

I can't answer that question but could someone please explain to me what a

" mercury rash " looks like? I keep hearing these references but my child gets

so many rashes I have no idea which one could be from mercury, yeast,

different liver phases, teen acne, measles, etc.

good question, but I don't know the answer.

if it is a reaction to MERCURY you might. Which I would say is

a fine reason to use a very low dose. Although even there, it

will depend on the sort or reaction involved. (I have a rather

complex view of skin reactions, and a long and icky history

of having skin allergies. In my case, I had ***tons*** of

skin allergies while chelating. I believe this involved

allergies to things I was touching IN ADDITION to possibly

involving hyper-sensitivity due to mercury. But it is hard

to tell LOL!)

hahahahahahha yes, it does get confusing with all these different

rashes! :[ drat!

I've been trying to figure out what " mercury rash " is for as

long as I've heard about it, and I don't have it figured yet.

As far as I know, it is an allergic (itchy) skin rash.

For a long time I figured it was DIFFERENT from " my " rashes

(which are, I think, allergic reactions to touching plants,

usually.) Then someone posted information about that mercury

commonly leads to SKIN HYPERSENSITIVITY. Hummmmm. So maybe

mercury rash is " just " an allergic reaction?
