Robert Timberg, author of John McCain: An American Odyssey , who has interviewed many POWs who served with McCain, said there's no evidence that he ever collaborated with the North Vietnamese.

What Causes Hives in Adults-The Immune System: What we do know is that hives in adults has a great deal to do with the immune system. Your immune system can be weakened by years of break outs or flare-ups due to disorders related to thyroid disease and even lupus.
Hives is an outbreak of raised, itchy, sometimes reddened patches of skin and bumps that are frequently caused by allergic reactions to food, drugs, chemicals, cold, sunlight, etc. Foods that can cause allergic hives are shellfish, nuts, peanuts, eggs, wheat, and soy. Hives can occur anywhere on the body but are usually seen on the extremities (arms and legs). Hives can also be caused by the friction from hot, restrictive clothing such as bra straps or tight elastic bands in panties. Hives are not contagious and can not be passed from one person to another by contact.
