Allergics, anyone ?

[Pixies]

I have a mild allergy to cats, a severe allergy to bee stings and a severe allergy to tuberculin, which is the drug they give you in a skin test to diagnose whether or not you have tuberculosis.

[Forensic]

Pollen, dust, and nickel (and probably other metal too). Stupid metals. Grr. Of all these, the nickel one bothers me most, because I like pretty things and I cannot wear them too long least I break out in hives...

[Guest]

Pollen.

I'm usually at my worst, from late March-June.

Then, for the remainder of the sumer, I seem to to fine, and the symptoms are there, but barely noticeable(I.e Slightly red and watery eyes, after a bike ride in the forest, but virtually no itching).

[Cheerio_Koroke]

Cats and dogs. Dogs worse than cats. Make my eyes itch. Which is sad. I love my kitty, just not anywhere near my face.

[Sarifus]

Oh drat. I forgot about pollon when I gave my answer. I should probably count as 'more than one of the above' then. Brazil nuts and pollon. Brazil nuts make my mouth/throat swell up, and pollon gives me hay fever/eczema. Though I have mostly grown out of eczema now. I still have it a bit sometimes though.

[purissimus]

Pollen, dust and certain kind of metal, which kind I have no idea.

Im not allergic to anything....so far

[Starscream]

I'm allergic to more than one of those things. Pollen, Dust, Animals (cats and dogs), Food (too many to name). I had to be on a strict diet as a child. I was not allowed to drink Cows milk, I could only drink Soy milk, and I was also allergic to wheat products, so that in itself can tell you what all I couldn't eat. I'm still allergic to tomatoes and kiwi. I'm more allergic to cats than dogs.

[cold fire]

dust and pollen are my allergy triggers. I have been having trouble lately, and I normally do at this time of the year. it gets worse in the spring, though.

[metalgirl2045]

Dust. I've been moving rooms and keep sneezing and one of my eyes has swollen up.

I have another more unusual allergy - shampoo. Don't worry, there are a very weird hippy ones and a tar based one I can use, but with any more conventional brands if they come into contact with my scalp too often it hurts and then I have a rash and dandruff from hell for a while afterwards.

[Adm_Twister_JCOM]

I'm allergic to cats, dogs, cockroaches, peanuts, penicillin, smoke, dust, and some pollen and mold. I'm not sure what types for the last two categories.

[Member21883]

I have asthma and am allergic to pollen, most nuts, dust, cats and mildly to horses. Might have other allergies.

[Feylin]

I'm allergic to cats, ragweed and peanuts. (Not in that order)

[Billie]

I have a cold allergy

But I didn't vote in the poll, there wasn't an option for that (you can put Other: explain)

[hyenaboy]

I'm allergic to lactose.

[Guest]

Urgh, lots. Lets see...

Pollen

Dogs

Ants

Mosquitos

Dust, accarina, mold... Everything not clean can be added here. T_T

Cigarretes smoke (highly allergic, severe rash almost instantaneously)

Most perfums and beauty products

Food just intolerance no real allergies on that matter. At least that. XD

[Peach]

Asthma, and I'm allergic to incense.

[lotusmadder]

The only actual things like an allergy I have..

I get a rash in my elbows from Big Red gum, which was like some sudden onset crap from earlier this year/late last year..

And something in perfumes gives me a rash if it's sprayed on me.

The Big Red thing kinda makes me sad, I actually liked that stuff. But even a little piece of it makes my elbows break out. Weird shiz.

[knoxroxmysox]

I might be allergic to something, but I'm not sure what. All I know is that occasionally, in winter, I get a consistently runny nose OR a cough (not both) without getting a full-blown cold. This has only been happening the past two years (I'm 18). Allergies? Maybe. From what? I don't know. I don't really have enough motivation to ask a doctor or allergist or anything.

Also, (I don't know if this is relevant) I might be prone to getting URIs more than usual. By the time I was 16, I had already had (walking) pneumonia and (acute) bronchitis. The bronchitis was immeasurably worse, in case you were wondering. I don't know if that affects anything.

So I said I don't have any allergies. Because I'm not sure

[Preskom]

I'm allergic to a ceramic glue used in most cigarettes and old houses.

nothing else

[kt8]

I think I'm allergic to my kitty. :( Not severely enough to want to get rid of him though. :P

[avril]

As far as I know I'm not allergic!

[Astryda]

Ouch, I'm allergic to everything on the list, but I don't have asthma. Plus I'm allergic to almost all medicines (so far I don't have any allergic reactions only to Cortisol) and chemicals.

[Zerick]

I remember reading this thread a long time ago, but never replied to it.

My allergies are never consistent so I sometimes don't know what I am allergic to.

Pollens - Yes... some parts of the year are hell for me, but not every year. A couple of times I have been incapacitated by them as my eyes burn and water and I can't see, my nose runs non stop and I find it hard to breathe. One of the worst times was at my brothers graduation from U of O. Medication didn't work at all and I ended up missing part of the graduation because I needed to go back to the Air Conditioned hotel and lie in the shower. Damn Eugene!

Animals - Some cats, but not all cats and not all the time. I lived with Ebony for years and at times I would break out in rash and again find it hard to breath and the whole eye and running nose thing. But this was not all the time and I could never figure what caused it and cured it.

Foods - None that I know of, but some hot foods or spices make my skin red and itchy... not sure which ones

Bees, - not that I know of. Bees don't sting me, but I am a mosquito magnet.

Dust, Molds - Not that I know of

Asthma - Nope... I do have a hard time breathing sometimes, but that is from the above or my wasted youth spent smoking. But even as a child (before started smoking at around 10) people would comment on how I breath different... "Very deep" is what they would say... but I don't have Asthma.

I also get sensitive to clothes and some fabrics or the chemicals on them.

goodnight

[GooberPeaAndMe]

I'm allergic to mosquitos, liquid medicines, and latex. Which makes camping and going to the doctor a bitch.

[squiggle]

aspartame and tannic fruit like cherries and cranberries trigger my migraine. Dunno if that counts as an allergy though...
