Maybe.: It is often hard to figure out the cause of an allergic rash. Poultry also may have mites which can cause an allergic reaction. The dirt may have mites. Feed/hay may be a source. The soap you used at an unfamiliar bathroom may be the problem. Do you see what I mean? No telling. Visit poultry in some other place and see if the same thing happens.
