If you’ve ever gone on a long walk during hot weather and noticed blotchy red or purplish marks on your legs afterward, you may have experienced exercise-induced vasculitis (EIV). While the name sounds alarming, this rash is typically harmless and goes away on its own. Still, its sudden appearance can be unsettling—especially since it can mimic more serious medical problems.

Even people who consider themselves fit, healthy, and free of underlying conditions can develop it after long hours of walking or… CONTINUE READING…

The first time it happened, it was so small it barely registered. My mother-in-law, Delphina, was doubled over in laughter, shaking her head at her friend Rosabel’s “ridiculous” confession: she didn’t know what paprika was made of. I smiled politely, spoon in hand, stirring the pot of chicken stew I’d been tasked with watching.

I kept nodding like I understood, while Delphina cackled and leaned back in her… CONTINUE READING…
