Dr. Gary Steven answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Two hours: Every allergist has their own rule of thumb; that's just mine. Exercise increases the flow of blood to the skin; this makes it more likely to absorb the allergens too quickly, increasing the risk of a severe reaction.
