Health
Vanessa has been candid about her lifelong health battle with hives—a condition that causes an itchy rash often linked to allergies. However, for her, the outbreaks occur without any apparent trigger. She opened up to Healthline about her experiences, recounting: “I was eight-years-old, almost nine. I woke my dad up, and we didn’t know what was going on. “He put me in an ice bath. I think back in the day, they thought, ‘Oh, this will help relieve her skin.’ But let me tell you, I was screaming.” Despite the years, the unpredictability of her condition remains a challenge: “The thing is, I don’t know when they’re gonna come. “I’ve been allergy tested, and I have an intolerance to things that I try to avoid, but it can be anything from stress, to elements in the weather, to fabrics, to something in the air; anything. “It can be a hive on my face, like a welt that lasts a few hours or a few days. “Or it can be a rash on my body that lasts a week or two. I’ve had some before on my arms, and I’ll see traces of it for over a week.”
