Hives are raised, often itchy, red bumps (welts) on the surface of the skin. They are usually an allergic reaction to food or medicine. They can also appear without cause. When you have an allergic reaction to a substance, your body releases histamine and other chemicals into the blood. This causes itching, swelling, and other symptoms. Hives are a common reaction. Persons with other allergies, such as hay fever, often get hives. When swelling or welts occur around the face, especially the lips and eyes, it is called angioedema.

So the weirdest thing to have happened in a war was also one of the greatest practical jokes of all times, in my opinion. It isâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦..(Imagine scary music ) The Ghost Army of the Allied Forces during the World War II. Specializing in tactical deception, the primary assignment of the â23rd Headquarters Special Troopâ (23rd Hqs, Special Troops) of the US Army was to fool Hitler. The soldiers of the Ghost Army consisted of actors, designers, sound technicians etc. and were armed not with guns and tanks but fake inflatable tanks and lots of sound effects dispersed via giant, albeit camouflaged loudspeakers. Additionally, soldiers of the Ghost Army also impersonated as other army units.
