Possible Kava allergy?

[Stephanie12]

This week I drank Pouni ono in aluball, 1 tbsp per day on 3 seperate days. Today I woke up after having drunk it last yesterday 11 a.m. with bumps on the back of my neck. My question is whether the two things could be connected? I know most users on here will consider that too small of an amount to do anything. But if it were an allergy, they aren't really dose dependent.

Generally a dermatologic skin reaction to kava of the alergic type will include hives on the face and neck, swelling, and skin reddening.

It will generally look something like this user that reported a dermatologic allergy type skin reaction from kava.

So it must be on both places, neck and face, Kap'n?

It's still possible. Is this your first kava or have you been drinking other types for a while?

Could be as I don’t know much about hives but it looks like standard skin irritation to me. If it’s not super itchy I would assume it was basically nothing. Or a bug bite

I had this happen years ago only with kavavieds lapita.. no other kava caused it. Looked like bug bites but was allergy

Possibly these roots arent being peeled and washed very well
