Hi Susan,
Good to know you're feeling better. Don't worry about dermatitis: people get it from harvesting just about anything manually, even mowing a lawn. But taking it in NBE doses, no.
The breakouts were probably from the sugar in the beer. There is way more sugar than hops in beer, too much for a low carb diet.
One thing to be careful with: I use dried hops raw, and it is grown in open air. So in principle, it can have infections. I started out with tea, and switched to porridge when my body got used to hops.
I'll be out of town for two days, not sure if I'll be on line.
