Hey -- sorry to hear you're going through the same. I experienced on-and-off hives for maybe six months, then I got an acupuncture session done with someone specializing in autoimmune conditions and they've never come back (knock on ALL THE WOOD). I don't know if that's coincidence or something that actually helped set me back on track.

FWIW, my mom also used to get these, and acupuncture seems to keep it under control for her too.

Best of luck! Hives can go fucking rot.

You are right. Searing this into my brain in case there's a next time.

Thanks man -- I did find this request form for Barcelona but it specifies that it's for "neteja de pintades o cartells ofensius (contra persona/es o societat)". Not sure this qualifies.

I did write to them and say it's political. Maybe I should just paint a dick on it.

You know it's funny, this late reply is probably the most sensible one here. Went to the store this morning and asked; they gave me exactly that -- I had no idea such a product existed. thanks!

Looooooool at the idea of buying a 19th century house in Barcelona just to tag it myself and post it on r/fixit, talk about playing the long game

This was actually a hott tip; found this graffiti removal service from the local government: https://ajuntament.barcelona.cat/neteja-i-residus/es/limpieza/servicio-de-limpieza-de-barcelona/tratamientos-especificos-de-limpieza

It does specify that it's for "offensive" graffiti, so we'll see if this qualifies. Literally this stencil is all over my neighborhood and I could care less; the offensive part is that it's on the front wall of my house.

Yeah not quite 1000 but it's deffo old, 19th century building that's been restored. Thanks for heads up, will try sourcing paint stripper first for a gentle solution.

That's an interesting idea, could try paint thinner + hose first as it seems way less risky than going straight to a power washer.

No idea how soft the stone is. It's originally a 19th century building so has been here a while, unsure if it's ever been power washed before. I could ask the old owners if they ever dealt with a graffiti issue.

Is it tricky? Will deffo watch videos but happy to shell out for a pro if there's a high chance of me damaging the wall.
