A member asked:

Today as i was walking in walmart my legs started itching like insanely arms too. to the point my eyes watered. i usually take clariten for it.help :(?

Allergic: I wonder what caused this allergic type reaction. Apparently you don't develop a rash or hives with this reaction. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is more effective than Claritin in relieving these symptoms but it can cause drowsiness. A short course of cortisone type medication can give relief.
