Narrative:
Right before boarding I started to get itchy; the C flight attendant asked if I was feeling ok; she told me my chest was really red looked like it was sunburned. She asked if I had a sunburn or had been in the sun and I told her I hadn't been in the sun. I looked like I had a really bright sunburn on my chest. My arms started to get red and I looked under my skirt and my legs were red also; I immediately took a zyrtec to see if the symptoms would subside. This was the 3rd trip I have worn my new uniform and I'm not sure if the heat on the airplane caused my reaction. I called in sick and on my way home ended up with a headache and started coughing. I also was itching all over. When I returned home I took off the uniform and took photos of the reaction and took some benadryl. Hot on the aircraft; heat activated the reaction. Have jumpseats cleaned and recall uniforms.
