Exercise urticaria!: Believe it or not, there is a phenomenon known as exercise-induced urticaria or hives. The timing, beginning 5-10 minutes after beginning to exercise, is typical. Usually there is an associated food allergy, often to nuts, eggs, wheat or shellfish. Have your doctor perform allergy testing, see if you are allergic, and avoid those foods/substances for up to four hours before exercise. Good luck!
