    Possible Allergic Reaction, Help please

    Hi.

    Weird shit happened to me 5 mins ago.

    I was at the gym doing deadlifts. I had my sweater on and I was starting to itch, then i took my sweater off and continued.

    After 10 mins i was sooo itchy i couldnt take it i grabbed my shit and walked out.

    On the drive home had the windows open, cold out, so i calmed down. IDK what the **** happened

    Background
    Test - 500mg/week
    Dbol - 25mg/day

    I'm on my 2nd week day 6 of the test cycle. DBOL , 4th week.

    Only thing different today was I was drinking a BANG! workout drink before my workout. Its a liquid creatine preworkout thing.

    I got all itchy all over my chest, shoulders, arms back and face, lower body I was good.

    Any input here?

    winter? possibly dry skin.

    something like that happens to me sometimes, but if i dont think about it it goes away.

    did you have a rash anywhere?

    leave the BANG! out and see what happens, find a different PreWO drink

    Niacin will make you flush and itch. I bet it was the energy drink.

    does it contain beta alanine?

    what flavor is it?

    what color?

    k, so it's not a food color allergy(red dye causes some people to have a reaction), sadly i can't find an ingredient list on the internet so i can't see what's in it

    is this itchiness and red skin from when you start sweating? And only spots you sweat. I had a problem a few weeks back where i would break out similar to what you describe. Ide be working out and would get all red and literally something similar to hives would occur.

    yeah you could have had an allergic reaction to something in there but without a medical history and possibly even with one i couldn't tell you what exactly

    best thing i can think of would be to change preworkout drinks, i can recommend some good ones or help you make your own mix if u like

    I tried it like 1-2 months ago. Didn't have a problem last time. I was just hoping it was nothing with the gear I have. Which I haven't had this problem with yet. So, i guess its just this pre-workout.

    I definitely wont be drinking it again lol

    If you tried it in the past.. Then I can't see that being the cause.... Unless they changed something in the formula for it.

    I tried it once before. Maybe I didn't have the reaction then, and it happened now?

    What do you mean you tried it once? Like just one day you tried it? And you were fun now your using it and having a reaction? Once may not cause a reaction. When you start it everyday pre workout could definitely be causing this.

    yeah, even sitting down in a machine that has someone's sweat can cause an allergic reaction

    you didn't happen to take any cough medicine or robitussin before the gym did you?

    I walked in. weighed myself, didnt touch anything.

    I shook a friends hand?

    Then I picked up some plates and set up a barbell on the floor for deadlifts.

    Did 1 set, started to work up a sweat then it all when downhill from there.

    I took 1 arginine pill before I went to the gym, but that cant be it. I take ariginine all the time.

    Only thing out of the ordinary was the pre-workout drink, BANG. Thats it

    Could be something in that drink. Which when your sweating your body is having a reaction to the sweat. thats why i asked if its only areas you were sweating that were causing this itchyness and crap. Like i said i used to break out with like hives it was like almost.
