Cutaneous larva migrans:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
A transient rash or, possibly, a small vesicle appears at the point of penetration, usually on an exposed area that has come in contact with the ground, such as the feet, legs, or buttocks. The incubation period is typically 1 to 6 days. The parasite may be active almost as soon as it enters the skin. Local pruritus begins within hours following penetration.
As the parasite migrates, it etches a noticeable thin, raised, red line on the skin, which may become vesicular and encrusted. Pruritus quickly develops, often with crusting and secondary infection following excoriation. Onset is usually characterized by slight itching that develops into intermittent stinging pain as the thin, red lines develop. The larva’s apparently random path can cover from 1 mm to 1 cm a day. Penetration of more than one larva may involve a much larger area of the skin, marking it with many tracks.

Urticaria and angioedema:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The characteristic features of urticaria are distinct, raised, evanescent (temporary) dermal wheals surrounded by an erythematous flare. These lesions may vary in size. In cholinergic urticaria, the wheals may be tiny and blanched, surrounded by erythematous flares.
Angioedema characteristically produces nonpitted swelling of deep subcutaneous tissue, usually on the eyelids, lips, genitalia, and mucous membranes. These swellings don’t usually itch but may burn and tingle.

mast cells cause changes in the immune system leading to typical
allergy symptoms such as itching, abdominal cramping, and even
anaphylaxis (dangerously low blood pressure).

cause
- Bone or muscle pain
- Abdominal discomfort
- Nausea and vomiting
- Stomach ulcers
- Diarrhea
- Skin lesions
- Episodes of very low blood pressure and faintness
- Shock
