No. Hives themselves are not transmitted to a partner through daily contact. It is a common allergic skin reaction, not an infectious disease. You can live with your partner without worry, but you should pay attention to daily care and avoid triggers that may worsen your symptoms.
The specific reasons are as follows:
1. **Different causes and transmission mechanisms:** Urticaria is usually triggered by allergies, infections, or physical irritants, which is a response of the body's internal immune system; while infectious diseases require specific pathogens to spread between people, and the two are completely different in principle.
2. **No risk from everyday contact:** Sharing meals, hugging, or skin-to-skin contact will not cause your partner to develop hives. However, it is important to note that if your partner has a similar history of allergies, they may develop hives due to the same triggers (such as food or environment).
3. **Special cases to be aware of:** In rare cases of urticaria caused by viral or bacterial infections, the source of infection may be contagious (such as the common cold virus), but the skin wheals themselves are not contagious.
We recommend that you and your partner keep a record of factors that may trigger urticaria (such as food, temperature changes), keep your home environment clean, and reduce allergens. If symptoms recur or are accompanied by fever or other abnormalities, please seek medical attention promptly to investigate potential causes.
