I've had seasonal allergies/hay fever for about 8 years now, affecting the sinuses and often going from stuffy nose to runny nose to sore throat. They come up during late winter and don't go away until sometime in autumn.

The only "allergy" I really have is related to that- cut, pulled, or uprooted grass. The smell and the fluids make my eyes itch terribly, and I sneeze more on top of the seasonal allergies. Makes PE class rather difficult when the grass is mowed, lest walking around.

I had one of those test things done when I was younger and according to that I'm allergic to a lot of stuff but I still eat, drink and come in contact with the stuff now so I don't know if it could have been a serious allergy.

Other than that, I get hayfever and animals make my eyes water and my nose run. I'm also allergic to mulberries, I get a rash type thing if I eat them or come in contact with the tree.

No. I am not allergic to anything.

Dust, I think, because of my asthma.

Hmm, well, I'm allergic to Bactrim, which is an antibiotic.

I'm also allergic to Caress products. I discovered it when I was about.. 11 or 12 and my mother brought home Caress body wash. I used it and broke out into a rash. I've avoided it since then, even though my mother likes the stuff and keeps buying.
Last summer, on our bathroom sink we had her Caress soap, and my Ivory soap. In the middle of the night, guess which one I accidently used?
Having itchy broken-out hands is terrible!

All people are sensitive to things like poison ivy/poison oak/poison sumac. But they affect me a lot worse. Instead of just getting a rash, I end up swollen and sick and itchy. It always results in a trip to the doctor's for injections of benadryl and adrenaline. And then going home with a prescription.

Bug bites. Not only am I allergic, but I can't go outside at night for even one minute without being swarmed by evil mosquitos. My doctor says that I'm the worst case he's seen without needing shots. I'm probably also one of the few who has mosquitos bite them in the ear.

I had one of those scratch tests on my back when I was 7 or 8, and none of the 50 most common showed up.

I'm also possibly allergic to the sun. Don't ask me how, but I was outside, doing nothing different than I had in the past week, and ended up with such a bad allergic reaction I had to go to the emergency room to get a steroid shot.

Pollen and such... not allergic...
So yeah.. not allergic to anything.

Well cept for bug bites but everyone is allergic to those..... bugs are just attracted to my sweet sweet blood I guess.... :P heh

Penicillin, mold and tree dander.

I had the prick test. Twice. But it didn't work. So they had to give me injections instead.

That was fun.

Cats, dogs, cockroaches, dust, a couple varieties of grass and trees. Not majorly to anything.

Bee stings make me swell a bit, flea bites and mosquito bites swell ginormously.

I'm not allergic to poison ivy, though. =)

Thu Jun 30, 2005 8:23 pm

Thu Jun 30, 2005 8:44 pm

You shouldn't have asked :(. I'm allergic to dander (no pets), raspberries, and large amounts of red or blue dye (no punch....). Its a sad and sorry subject...Oh yeah benzoyl peroxcide as well.

'raw' soap- like soap flakes, biological soap powder, some crappy brands of soap.

Hayfever.

Grass, some fabrics, elastoplast, suncreams give me skin allergies. Can't remember what else right now- I tend to notice afterwards.

I've also once had a mystery allergic skin reaction and I don't know what it's from.
