I've had itches all over for the past few weeks and lesions on my skin. The rash coincides with starting to take rosehip tablets for arthritis. I won't be taking any more and will let you know what happens.
I believe my daughter and myself are having a reaction to Vit C with Rose hips. At first I thought she was reacting to an antibiotic but then I started to itch and have an irritated throat as well and the only thing in common is the Rose Hips. She has small white hives on upper arms then moving up neck and on ear, mine is a general irritating itch all over upper body and face.
I was loading up on 500mg Vita C for this Winter. I felt like i had a constant "feather" in my throat. Little did I realize, Rose Hips was an ingredient that caused the discomfort. No swelling, no rash....Kind of wondered if i had something going on with my lungs. As soon as I stopped consuming (2) 500mg pills a day, My Hacking Cough subsided after just a few days.....
I got the same reaction on my face and neck. The icheness was unverable! I got the bottle from target. Vitamin c with rose hips 500g
I took rise hips and my skin started itching like crazy
i had the same reaction ????
I have a sever allergy to Rosehip & Rose. I now have to carry an epipen on me at all times as I can got anaphyactic.
My reactions range from, large cysts on my face, itchiness over my body, throat swelling and difficulty breathing.

I also had the same problem. Mine is on my right thigh. The only difference in my diet I started taking Vitamin C which included rose hip.
I'm experiencing the red hives and lesions all over my face and they have spread to my neck and chest. Hope this goes away soon. Darn rosehip oil!
I was experimenting with herbal tea and tried rosehip, immediately my throats felt weird, 5 minutes later I was congested, eyes started watering. 10 mins later I was dizzy, and the congestion and watery eyes got worse. 20 mins later I had a slight difficulty breathing, my chest felt weird and my eyelids were so swollen they closed my eyes shut 30 mins later. I couldn't even finish the tea, had a few sips and started feeling terrible. My eyes stayed swollen for several hours.
These past few weeks I've been waking up EVERY morning with hives and a red rash over 50% to 90% of my body. After living on Benadryl, and as a result sleeping most of the time, I was fed up! Itchy, painful, swollen, burning skin was my normal existence.
So after a process of elimination with a ton of items in my daily life; laundry scent boosters, a new hypo-allergenic laundry detergent (of all things), washing my dog, stopping my daily petting of my wild deer (who visits me every day), eliminating any new food, etc I finally got to my supplements and vitamins.
The only new Vitamin...I'm sure you know the answer: Vitamin C WITH ROSE HIPS!!! After a couple of days off of it, hives and rash GONE! Pain, irritation, swelling, itching, etc ALL GONE!
I found this message board and wanted to post my story. I had never heard of Rose Hips before and it does make me wonder if this allergy actually effects more people than these Companies realize.
Now I have to figure out what else this ingredient could possibly be in...just in case. I'm just so grateful that I FINALLY figured out what was going on.
Get off Rose Hips! Check your food, supplements, meds, beauty supplies, drinks (tea), etc. It probably is the culprit for the hives/rash you've been getting. Just like it was for me!

Me too!! Sore throat, swelling, just took a benedryl.
What did you use to stop the itching and rash. I have stopped taking the vitamins but the rash is still bad!
I realized that my rose bush had hips on it so I decided to harvest them and make tea. I had a dream once that I was allergic to roses and this is my first time handling roses in real life, needless to say my dream came true or I wouldn't be writing this comment. I have itchy rashes all along both arms. SO, question answered and now I have my own: anybody have any remedy for rashes brought on by rose hips?
I too found out that I am allergic to rose hips. I purchased ascorbic acid with rose hips and some other supplements (tumeric curcumin,Qunol which is a form of Ubiquinol, and lecithin). i took them all together at first and started having some distinct reactions such as stomach cramps, bloating, wheezing, headaches, and a feeling that I was high. This went on for a couple of days. I then stopped taking the supplements all together for a week then started back one by one. I had no reactions from the lecithin or the qunol but the turmeric curcumin caused stomach cramps and bloating and the ascorbic acid with the rose hips caused me to have horrible headaches, wheezing, and the feeling that I was high. It has to be the rose hips because I drink sunny delight on a daily basis and it contains ascorbic acid and I don't have any problems.
