A member asked:
Can you get hives from a spider bite? i seem to have broken out in hives all over my body (red itchy bumps) and i found a spider the next day.

Urticaria: Finding a spider probably has nothing to do with your hives, just a coincidence. Urticaria (the medical term for hives) usually is an allergic reaction to something. If you're taking any medications, that might be the cause. See a doctor ASAP to help determine the cause and for treatment to reduce the itching.
