I had an allergist's appointment today because I had an allergic reaction to something I ate a few weeks back. I am allergic to BLUEBERRIES, of all things. This is in addition to most things with fur, most things that produce pollen, dust, mildew, and mold. And chlorine.


What are you allergic to? I want to see if anyone has some other ridiculous allergies.

um...Kathon CG (preservative found in just about every cleaning product), renal dialysis rinse, jet engine fuel, coins, shampoo, conditioner, perfume, paper mill slurry, formaldehyde...I have a big list somewhere that used to be known as the LIST OF DOOM.

Yeah I spend a lot of time trying to not be dying of allergies.

I'm allergic to strawberry-watermelon.

Not strawberries, or watermelon, but the combination of the two in drinks or candy and whatnot.

I used to burst into an allergic fit of sneezing and tearing if exposed to freshly mowed grass. Even worse, if I would go out and play in the grass I'd get covered in itchy hives and they wouldn't go down for hours. That... stopped, though. o_O

You win! Not sure that's a terribly good thing for you, though, I'm sorry

Yeah it is a monumental pain in the posterior. Though I am jealous of your allergy jabs. I am on a pile of tablets that I keep losing and/or running out of.

Had to laugh though at some of the stuff on the list they gave me. Seriously jet engine fuel?!

Nothing. I rule.

I hates you

Ibuprofen, sucked when i played football :/

Pitted fruits. Peaches, plums and the like.

Formaldehyde? Isn't that sort of supposed to not go very well with (living) skin? . Half the stuff we use in chemistry I actually need the gloves for though - Potassium Dichromate VI managed to dye a bit of my hand dark orange for a week.

My weirder ones include dog saliva, the oil cats have to lubricate their claws, mushrooms, and, well, animal proteins in general (viz. meat)

pollen, dust, mold

Love.

just Poison Ivy

Penicillin and Augmentin.

I have no allergies.

Claratin, Allegra, Naproxen(in anti-inflammatories), cantelope, various pollens, smog, your face.

No allergies for me.

Just basic dust/pollen allergies.

Penicillin and generic springtime pollen allergies.

Dust mite feces. Boring, I know. It'd suck to be allergic to cantaloupe.

Eh, I don't miss it. Honeydew is the money melon.
Plus when I found out I was allergic I got itchy all over and puked for an hour, so there's a grudge.

Ugly people.

Some of your mothers had to have been smoking crack or something to produce such wimpy babies.

Yeah I was gonna ask how you found out about that one.

I only know of one - cats. It's either their fur or dried saliva that comes off their fur. I think it's the latter because there have been a cat or two that got no reaction from me, while others made me feel like shit in minutes.

Nothing really, I guess just pollen or whatever.
I may as well be allergic to cream cheese because both times I've tried it my throat closed and I threw it up. Stuff is gross.

Nothing

Exotic Cat dander (no joke, not house pets though)
Pollen, especially fucking cotton. Fuck that shit. I wake up at like 5 AM in the summer sometimes because of it.

I'm allergic to shrimp and cat dander. It sucks though because I love kittens.

I'm only allergic to penicillin. I took it once a got red rash everywhere, so now I have to take some other sort of similar drug for bacterial infection.

Nothing but I do have a "Photic sneeze reflex."

God it's annoying.

Sweet fuck all.

cats, dogs, pets in gerneral, flowers, trees that bud also cotten wood trees.... bubble bath, body wash (the liquid kind) perfumes

there is good news tho... no food allergies lol

Wow, that's really strange.

Huh, I thought sneezing when you went into the sun had to do with the air in your sinuses heating up and thus expanding.

Nothing. I win.

Atleast...nothing I know of.

Trees, grass, cats, dustmites plus a few others but those are my major ones.

At the beginning of the spring I usually start sneezing my head off and it lasts for about a week. I don't know exactly what causes it since this is something that just started happening recently and so much stuff is usually swirling around in the air at that time too. It only lasts a week or two so I have never bothered to go to the doctor about it.

I'm allergic to pollen and some kind of anti-biotic that I forgot the name of.

I was working at an elementary school with the ESL after-school program, and every day we'd put snacks out for the kids to eat. It was always something simple like cookies and juice. I was curious so I asked the supervisor about students with food allergies, and she said in all the years she had been working with the ESL after-school program, she had never met an ESL student with a food allergy. However, the mainstream classes were predominantly white upper-middle class kids who were teeming with food allergies. Hmmmm...

Peanuts make me die. Other than that, I've got pretty much every kind of pollen (except, for some reason, Loblolly pine), and various molds and things.

absolutely nothing

I have no idea but I sneeze even if it's dark and I turn the light and/or tv on. I always assumed it was because when you turned th tv on dust flew off or something but I guess I was wrong.

Penicillin.

And being touched.
No, I'm not joking. I have dermatographic urticaria to a very severe extent, and it welts when I'm touched more than a light rub or pat across the skin. Nevertheless, I wrestled and played Football. It just appeared sometime in September 2004 and hasn't gone away since. It itches really badly when it happens, which makes you want to scratch it, which will of course welt it more. I can control it somewhat now, and it's now pretty much a party trick. Except in sports, when my body is patched with welts all over because of the contact.

Judging by my appearance, sunlight and excercise. But seriously, nothing.

It's true. There's a hygiene theory regarding allergies that basically says that the "cleaner" (lack of exposure to mold, pollen, etc due to better housing and cleanliness) the environment you live in, the more likely you are to develop allergies. Of course, there is also a genetic link, but that doesn't account for all of it.

humans are becoming so weak...soon...we...will...all...














DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's not an allergy, I don't think, but Altoids make me sneeze a couple of times, without fail. Just remembered that one.
