Hives are an allergic reaction from the immune system in response to an allergen on the surface of your skin - they aren't caused by specific toxins. If you are having frequent hives you should visit an allergist who can test a panel of common culprits to identify your triggers.

Hives are not caused by toxins. Hives can be triggered by foods, drugs, infections, and diseases. Some cases of hives are idiopathic, meaning there is no cause. However, they are usually caused by an allergen which has come in contact with the skin.
