Hi Guys im a bit concerned about taking kava now because on Saturday i took kava and the next day fealt really ill with a fever of 102 F and bad hives/rash. I've been taking kava for about two months on the weekends. I Actually had a reaction about 3 weeks ago as i've been using the extract pills in combination with the prepared root, i sort of chalked this up to mixing the extract pills. I didnt really do anything for my skin other than moisturize, which caused it to go away after about 4 days. The weekend following i had some prepared root with no ill effects, same thing the weekend following.
The order of events on saturday:
6:00PM, Glass of red wine with dinner.
9:00PM, Loa Waka Kalm with Kava 6 TB strained via blender method to make two strong shells consumed an hour apart.
11:00PM, 1 TB toss and wash (Kalm with kava boronogoru) and one extract pill
I woke up sunday feeling like crap and completely covered in a hot rash all over my entire body...i've never had it this bad before. Wife gave me two benedryl and not long after i started to get a headache and feverish. By the evening i had a serious fever of 102F. The wife also prepared an epsom salt bath for me and rubbed baking soda and water on my body. Its monday now, surprisingly the rash is mostly gone just woke up with a headache.
So im not sure what to think, i know you're not supposed to mix alcohol and kava but would a glass of red wine with dinner really make a difference? Its not like i do this every day. Also i know that toss and wash is bad so i will never do that again, but is it also possible that the extract pills should not be consumed with the prepared root and that caused adverse reactions?
In all honestly i can deal with the skin issues but the fever and basically like im sick i can deal with.
