Information on  urticaria 

Urticaria is basically an allergic reaction to some substance, characterized by the appearance of a rash on the body. These welts can appear on any part of the body and usually itch and burn. Almost any substance can be responsible for a breakout of these welts.


If your question is whether tea can be the cause — yes, it is possible. You will need to investigate the possible causes of your condition through trial and error. Note that if your allergic reactions are particularly severe, you should do this only with the help of your doctor.


If it seems that tea is the problem, avoid consuming tea for a few months. There are medication and home remedies for hives, but finding the right medication for an individual is difficult, while home remedies only ease the symptoms and cannot prevent an outbreak.

If tea is indeed responsible for your chronic urticaria, it will be best for you to completely avoid tea. However, it is possible for one person to be allergic to more than one substance, so you will need to keep track of what you eat at all times. An outbreak of hives while you are off tea does not necessarily mean that you are not allergic to tea. If in general it seems that tea is the culprit, such an outbreak might mean that tea is not the only one.
