Every now and then I take a chance eating their food, knowing full well it will make my skin itch. I don't eat their food often, but sometimes I get weak and will. So why does this happen?

You're sensitive to something, and may be allergic. It may not be the particular food e.g. the burger, but most probably is a problem with an additive. For example, sometimes think fries are just fries, but most places have a coating on their fries now, which can have all sorts of stuff in it.
I get reactions to fast foods too - different for every place, which is kind of fun to figure out, including Chinese take out. I start sneezing, watery eyes, and sometimes real sinus trouble. I'm 46, and this has developed over the past two years or so -- but like you, I do get weak.... and succumb, albeit rarely.
I know I have lactose intolerance so have to watch out for that. Nothing else showed up in allergy tests done about 10 years ago. Probably time to get them done again, but haven't bothered because the symptoms don't last.

Maybe you are allergic to fast food (is it ONLY McDonald's and Wendy's?? If you really want to eat fast food, try other places) or they put in an ingredient that makes you itchy. You shouldn't be eating their food!

Perhaps you're allergic to the kind of oil they use to make their food. But why do you keep going there, knowing that you'll have a reaction?

It's your body's way of telling you not to eat it. It's called a food allergen reaction.

Is it chicken that you eat? It's because of allergy. I am like that. I itch when I eat chicken, get weak and cannot breath well.

You have an allergy. Don't go there anymore. You might have another, worse reaction next time!

it's not the food. it might be something in the restaurant that's making you itch. maybe it's the latex that they use when handling food.
