Horrible Skin Reaction (Head to Toe and inside Throat)

A year ago today, I was hospitalized for a sever systemic skin reaction. I was literally covered from the top of my head to the soles of my feet and inside my throat. I am still attempting to search for answers because the thought of it happening again scares me. Doctors searched for every illness imaginable and came up empty handed. I'm looking for other people who might have experienced something similar.

I work in a greenhouse. I sprayed an insecticide the week prier, but I have used that chemical numerous times. I bought a new truck, so I called the dealership to figure out what chemicals were used to clean it, but it was nothing harmful. I was not sick before it happened. I traveled to Houston TX the end of January and was hospitalized the first of March.

Sorry to hear about your illness.

Do you recall what you did differently a month before it started to happen? I mean were you sick, did you travel, did you have a medical treatment, etc.
