I guess I need some help. Did anybody experience any kind of allergic skin response during the detox process? I expected pimples or acne but instead I got rashes under my eyes, on my neck and INSIDE (!) my nose (including itching) and I feel like crap. Is this a normal detox symptom and if yes, would it stop the detox process if I took antiallergics? Thanks for your help.

It sounds like a detox symptom to me. The skin is a powerful organ, and is your bodys main source of eliminating toxins, secreted out through your sweat. If you're still struggling with sensitive skin, try doing a cool compress with chamomile - put a chamomile tea bag in your basin with hot water so it can steep, then cool it down and do a cloth compress. Chamomile is a natural antihistamine.
Today I had an asthma attack brought on by a perfume a friend was wearing, which I also have too. As I've worn it many times, it must be my body detoxifying. I'm on day 7 of my new vegan life :-)
