Slight Mushroom Allergy?

Well I'm going to make this snappy. The past 6 times I have tripped, starting just before I come down, for maybe 2 days, I seem to get really itchy legs haha. It's not very unpleasant, just slightly annoying and something I'd rather avoid in the future.
I have just 2 questions.
Has anyone here experienced this when just consuming straight Psilocybe Cubensis?
And what are the chances of the thing causing the negative reaction staying behind in say, a water extraction?

Nah don't think it's an allergy, just be sure to eat healthy and take a good multi vitamin the days following a trip. I have itchy legs at random and always have, regardless of tripping, but then again I have asthma/allergies/dermatitis (mild)

Haha, I was thinking it could just be my bodies natural reaction to the "Stress" of a trip. But that just seems so odd.

Do you stay hydrated while tripping? Make sure you are drinking water or juice
While I hate to say this, you might always have itchy legs but the mushroom experience is brining it up to your conscious mind...
Could try moisturizing your legs before you trip...

Haha, I don't think my legs are usually itchy, but you could be right about having heightened senses for the days after. I have never had this with LSD or any other kind of mushrooms though. Just these Mazatepec Cubensis.
And yep, I like to not eat for a few hours up to the experience, but I can't really go without water too long.

This is very odd, I have always noticed parts of my body getting itchy after eating mushrooms. It happens almost every single time, I always thought it was because your immune system is activated by the mushrooms (ive been eating them for a year, my household has been sick many times and i haven't gotten sick yet)

I personally haven't experienced this, but maybe its just anxiety or something? Just try again and if it happens again, let us know

Have you ever tried an extract? I'm going to try it next to see if it happens again.

Many times when I trip I go walking for a while, which get my legs extremely warm. All of a sudden, my legs itch like hell and I HAVE to scratch them, no matter where I am lol. I think it's a higher blood pressure, similar to getting warm sweaty hands and a red face when tripping. Body temperature rises and capillaries open more, moving blood around more.
I had a "Niacin flush" one time after drinking my first ever 5 hour energy, and my whole body itched for hours. Turns out Niacin opens capillaries and increases bloodflow, getting it closer to the skin and making it red, causing irritation if you have too much Niacin in your system.
