Kava Curious
hi everbody,
havent been here in a while but i had this happened and would really aprreciate some advice.
up untill past summer i enjoyed my kava mostly from gke but they went belly up so i had to cut down and order from overseas (shipping aaaargh)
i mostly used moi from ghk but i had many other cultivars until i tried kumakua. atr first i had some weird itch on my head in a way as it felt a bit sunburned. and i figured it was actually this. i limited myself to 1 maybe 2 times a week again because getting it over here is expensive. so i didnt really payed attention until one time i had a long session with a friend and after he left i took it to myself to drink the rest. at the moment that itchy feeling was present but not overwhelming, then i went to sleep and maybe 3-4 hours later i woke up incredibly itchy. my forehead torso upper arms as if stung by some poisonous plant really nasty stuff. it did not clear until nighttime the next day, i did not understand what happened but it went away so fixed right?
ff a week later gke sent some extract and no explanation or letter or what and why (ordered maybe 4 months ealier meduim grind) and found out over here that they went dark and they pulled the plug on their operation. i tried some and it was quite disguisting but it worked. and gave the remaining liquid to my friend who was more happy with it as i.
i had my kumakua again maybe 2 weeks later and again itchy head but this time i woke up INCREDIBLY itchy and i am no stranger to itches but i never had such a horrible itch in my life.... and to make things worse my face was swollen to the point i didnt even look like myself, all red swollen i coud see my eyebrows.. and my upper arms and torso fire red. this took 2 days to recover and by day 3 it was gone and began searching what it could be .
finally found this but due to some really bad luck and family situations i didnt feel like posting and well screw cancer..
recieved 2 pounds borugu from kalm with kava and forgot about it. until now
my question is since this borugu is from vanatu and other in chemical markup as hawaian can i cautiously proceed to see if i get no ill effects from this?
and gke only had vanatuan strains and other than dry skin i had no problems with this in years.
i to my knowledge never had an allergic reaction to anything, and during that episode i did not have any swelling of my througt or shortness of breath.
i have some cetirizine tablets my friend gave me as he thought my normal skin issues this would help but i have some cream from the doctor wich i use but the tablets say their for allergic reactions so if i try it and it happens again i can maybe use those?
i can really use some good grog and i hope somebody can give me some experience or tips.
