What I learned today (Take Two)

Good grief, I've never heard of that before. I have cooked a lot of fish on cedar planks on the outside grill. For family and guests, never gave it a thought. Scary!

Thanks, Larry. I've used cedar planks many times in the past with no problem and am not a particularly cautious person. But welts like that after such brief contact? Never experienced anything like that in my life so can't just laugh it off.

I would imagine the cedar plank affects only the skin, which I presume you don't eat.

You and I now know about welts--with your cedar and my Eliquis.

Many years ago I took an anti-depressant called imipramine. And soon after I started having oddly-shaped, puffy red, itchy welts showing up on my arms. Eventually, I figured out that the shapes came from leaning my arms on the table. So, I tried writing on my arm with my fingernail and sure enough... itchy puffy red writing appeared!

Fast forward... many years later I read that the drug was not to blame... it was the dye used in the coating!

So, Jenise, have you changed meds lately?

[Jenise]

Nope!
