Histamine, of allergy commercial fame, is found in many different cheeses. Let's dive into the science behind it! Have you ever had a burning mouth or itchy tongue after eating a piece of cheese? You may very well have encountered high amounts of histamine! Histamine is a naturally occurring chemical compound that serves some crucial roles in the body: blood pressure control, cell growth, and many others. However, if we ingest too much histamine it can cause problems like the burn.
Flushing is to become markedly red in the face and often other areas of the skin, from various physiological conditions. Flushing is generally distinguished, despite a close physiological relation between them, from blushing , which is milder, generally restricted to the face, cheeks or ears, and generally assumed to reflect emotional stress , such as embarrassment , anger , or romantic stimulation. Flushing is also a cardinal symptom of carcinoid syndrome —the syndrome that results from hormones often serotonin or histamine being secreted into systemic circulation.

The sex flush tends to occur more often under warmer conditions and may not appear at all under lower temperatures. During the female sex flush, pinkish spots develop under the breasts , then spread to the breasts, torso , face , hands , soles of the feet , and possibly over the entire body. Vasocongestion is also responsible for the darkening of the clitoris and the walls of the vagina during sexual arousal.

A red face after drinking alcohol may be a warning sign — a new study has found that people who get flushed after drinking are at increased risk for developing high blood pressure. The researchers looked at the risk of hypertension high blood pressure in 1, Korean men, including men who became flush after drinking, who didn't get flush after drinking and who didn't drink. Scientists found that the "flushers" who drank more than four drinks a week had more than double the risk of hypertension , compared with men who didn't drink. In contrast, "nonflushers" had an increased risk of hypertension only if they consumed more than eight alcoholic beverages a week. In other words, flushers were more likely to develop hypertension at a lower level of drinking than nonflushers, the researchers said.
