Unlikely: There are no reports in the medical literature linking hives to a high protein diet.

No: It is not "too much protein" but "foreign proteins" (or the type of proteins) to your immune system what causes an allergic reaction.

No: But if you have allergy it is usually to specific proteins. Food allergies could include the proteins in milk, egg, peanut, soy, beef, chicken or others. So, if you are having hives, see a board certified allergist for evaluation and possibly some allergy testing.

Hives: Unlikely too much protein can cause hives unless the protein that one is consuming is the allergic trigger. Seeing an allergist to test for the the specific proteins that one is consuming may help.
