funny skin reactions to stems????

[Shalene]

I apologize in advance if this isnt an appropriate thread for this site, but I dont really post anywhere else and I felt the massageplanet members would have a wide range of knowledge and experience...ass kisser arent I :

OK so a young friend of mine (much younger actually lol) told me that they had an odd experience.

Someone gave them a little stem which they assumed was herb.
They ate it and said they said the only reaction they got was a flushed face and a sudden rash over much of their body and very itchy skin. Went away the next day.

They asked me what i thought might have happened? I have no idea other than to say bad idea trusting "friends" with gifts. But maybe it was something other than what they thought?

Allergic reaction? I have no idea.

any thoughts?

And can all you hipsters excuse this square :dad-e-o pm me if u prefer

It sounds like an allergic reaction.

You don't smoke or eat the stems....

I'd do a search on WebMD for "side effects of Stems from my friends" They have all the answers.

It could have been anything really. Some herbs can be quite dangerous. I would take the stem to an expert in the field if there is any piece left over.
