Hives Beware!

This summer we tried to go to Seven Peaks several times to take advantage of our pass of all passes we purchased last year.  Well I managed to contract a UTI infection on one of these trips.  Not wanting to go to the doctor I attempted to get rid of it myself by drinking buckets of cranberry juice, but to no avail.  I went to the doctor and got an antibiotic, which was awesome until a couple of days after I finished the ten day run.  On Saturday I started to feel super achy like I was running a fever but I wasn't.  I just felt tired and just generally weird (well weirder than usual).  Sunday I felt a little worse and Monday when I got to work I broke out in hives all over my body.  I was freaking out a little that I had some crazy bug bite or something.  I didn't think it had anything to do with the medicine because I had been taking the stupid pills for 10 days.  I went to urgent care and found out that yes I am allergic to Bacterium (awesome name I know).  Apparently you can have a reaction to a medicate up to two weeks after you are completely done taking it which I didn't know.
