I have eaten free range, organic eggs for a long time.  Last week the
grocery store decided to not carry them any more and to use the shelf space
for (forgot the name) the new processed egg/cheese/meat/biscuit junk that is
so widely advertised in the U.S. right now.

I eat eggs every other day, so I bought the only eggs available - non
organic.  Within a day or two I developed a nasty little red rash on both
forearms that itches like crazy.  If it had not been for the thread on this
list, I would not have associated it with the eggs.

The good news is that the grocery store chain received so many complaints
after dropping organic eggs that they have reversed their policy and plan to
begin selling organic again this week!  In the mean time, I'm using aloe on
the rash...
