I'm curious and want to know what everyone is allergic to, I'm allergic to Strawberries. Even the smell of a strawberry scented air freshener gives me a headache.

    That sounds psychological. Air freshener wouldn't have any actual strawberry in it.

    I don't think I'm allergic to anything except pollen in general.

    Big difference between allergies and intolerance, a lot of people who have an intolerance to something, think they have an allergy, and allergy is a life threatening condition.

    Sorry...too much seriousness...I am intolerant

    True. I'm allergic to peaches/stone fruits and I'm so paranoid about it that peach/mango lotion makes me itchy. It's annoying, and totally mental.

    Thanks! Just trying to lighten the atmosphere here today.

    I get along with my ex just fine. We are cordial, but that's about it. The first 2 years after divorce were hell, though.

    LOL...and my ex-husband (the "evil ex")!!

    Seriously, I have MANY allergies to foods, medications and scents. I am chemically sensitive (Environmental Illness) so perfume, strong chemicals/household cleaners, air fresheners, gas fumes, etc., set off severe headaches and my asthma. I am allergic to weeds, trees, grasses & ragweed as far as "general" outdoor allergies. Also allergic to some flowers such as mums, daisies, and chrysanthemums. Food-wise, I am allergic to nuts, chemical preservatives & MSG, food colorings, raisins and dried fruit. Those foods also bring on severe headaches, walnuts make my throat itch. As far a meds, too many to list all but Reglan (an anti-emetic) and contrast mediums for X-rays or MRI scans bring on anaphylaxis. Sufa sets off episodic pancreatitis, I took it once and ended up in ICU for a week :cry: .

    I don't think her reaction to air fresheners is psychological, I do think it probably is from a chemical in them (I also get bad headaches from them, all scents).

    Stress...no seriously. I had to carry around an anaphylactic shock kit because of it.

    General anesthetic most likely. It is a condition that runs in the family. Only way to test for it is to cut out a piece of your muscle, inject it, and see what happens... and even that isn't 100%. So I prefer to just say most likely and warn any doctors lol.

    Asparagus - which I actually happened to like!,
    Erythromycin and Amoxicillin - 2 of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics, and
    The Sun - I get a mild skin reaction on my hands the first time I am in the sun for an extended time starting in the spring. It is weird, but it goes away in a couple of days.

    I have pretty much year round hayfever from early pollen in march to trees in autumn. Plus when it's cold I am also allergic to the damp. Anti-histamines are my friend
