Sometimes, when i put ketchup on a burger, for example, i tend to get over-zealous with the portion i add, and upon eating the ketchup, my head/scalp itches. :headscratch:
I don't have dandruff, or any weird kind of nerve disease, so what causes this?
does any one else experience this?
Just been wondering about this for a couple years, and wanted an answer, thanks!
-
Does this occur during eating, before or after your done and the digestion period starts?
Serious....

Ok, I'm curious now.
-
look at the ingredients of the ketchup you use...
then buy another brand ketchup that uses different additives. also try organic ketchup
that way you can narrow out what it is you're reacting to.
The closest ive had to that as with niacin. foods with too much of it (which thankfully are so rare i dont have to bother looking out for 'em) give me a slight blush all over my body. niacin is supposed to do that in very high doses but my tolerance seems to be much lower than others lol.
-
Allergical reaction to something in the ketchup, - could even be the tomatoes.
(I cannot eat peppers (paprika)).
Do what Tac said.

It's called Niacin Flush. I've had it before. You don't need high doses to get it. It's actually good because it is caused by the dilation of capillaries, allowing more blood to flow. But it isn't exactly pleasant IMO. :)

Yep... Ketchup and other spices or salt and vinegar crisps (chips). I don't itch.... my scalp sweats. I don't feel hot or look flushed but if I eat a hearty amount of this stuff my bloody scalp (top of me 'ead) sweats buckets.
Down side is I've gone a little thin on top. Not a slap head but my crown isn't as full as it once was...dunno if its this though as male baldness is a common thing. It's just that its in the same place.

Chips and Salsa does the same thing. It's not hot enough unless your scalp sweats.
Killjoy (soon returning to a base near you)

I would say it was the vinegar in the ketchup which is making you sweat slightly.

It happens amost as soon as the sauce touches my tongue.
It can range from a tingleing sensation, to a full blown itchiness depending on how much i eat at a time, thanks for al the theories, ill try other brands and update later.

Heard of a dude who ate so many tomatoes he skin turned red. Food allergies maybe.

I have no allerges that i am aware of, and i can eat every other food i can think of without this reaction.

Are you a ghost then? :O

its probably an additive. if you were slightly allergic to tomato youd've known about it years and years ago.
trying 'organic' tomato ketchup is the best first best. if you have that an nothing happens then you know its not the tomato itself.
-
The only difference between standard ketchup and organic is the sweetener. You are more likely to be allergic to agave syrup than sugar if its an allergy you have not discovered yet (since its likely that you would know about a sugar allergy by now).

No problems with HP Sauce. Splendid stuff . . .

I'll tell you what it is, and it is indisputable. Ketchup is the #1 worst condiment. All it does it take away the taste of what you are eating. Learn to love mustard. Spices rule.
***My rule about ketchup should be totally ignored unless eating good meatloaf, or making a brown suger and apple cider based BBQ sauce. Come to think of it, my rule sucks.
Maybe you are eating hunt's. Does this happen when you eat Hienz? I'd never eat the one John Kerry does, but her family's product is the best.

Ever see Willy Wonka?
Be careful or this could happen to you!

Ketchup Allergy
The most common symptoms of ketchup allergy include rash or flushed face, stomach ache, headaches, and diarrhea. It is important that you understand that if you continue to eatketchup even after you learn of your allergy , the symptoms may become worse or much more severe. The most common severe reaction to food allergens is anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis affects several different organ systems and usually leads to swelling and reddening of the mouth and throat. If you feel you are experiencing anaphylaxis, it is important that you contact medical help as soon as possible before you go into anaphylatic shock.
Because the most common side effect is skin irratation, it is most common for doctors to check for ketchup allergy using a skin test. During these skin tests, the doctors will look for rash or bumps caused by the allergen in ketchup to determine exactly what your problem is. This test is usually painless, and can be completed with only five minutes of your time. It is important that you take this time to ensure that you know the truth about your allergies and can take the right steps toward ensuring that your complications do not happen again.
