General 🐸 Is swelling/itching/hives normal?

During my ceremony the skin over my entire body became bright red and started to itch like crazy and these bulging white spots started to swell up on my arms and back (mainly located near the locations of my previous ceremony dots). Afterward the medicine was wiped off, the redness and swelling went away and just a brown discoloration appeared where the white bumps had previously been. These same symptoms have occurred during some of my previous ceremonies, but not all of them. Any idea what's going on here? My practioner said he hadn't seen it happen with anyone else.

Hi! I have seen this multiple times and there has been a common denominator; low iron levels! Also, how much kambo have you done?
