I have been getting hives recently and have been eating raw brown rice everytime i go to the kitchen. are the two connected?

No: There are numerous different kinds of hives. Sometimes it is allergy to food or medicine. Often it is not allergy. If you have hives every day for 6 weeks, you probably have chronic urticaria which is not allergy. See a dermatologist to determine if you have hives, which kind, and how to manage it. Meanwhile, try ceterazine (Zyrtec) 10mg one or two a day.
