I think I'm dealing with hives from a reaction to a different scented fabric softener. I started using it, maybe a month ago, cause Walmart was out of regular Downy.
It took a year of using Native brand deoderant, before I had a major allergic reaction, so it stands to reason I wouldn't have had a reaction to the new fabric softener right away.
Re-washing all my clothes and sheets, Benadryl on deck!
