    Food allergies, Known for me is Sunflower seeds

    Medicines the list goes on Penicillin, Sulfa, Bioxin oh and the new one is Demeral

    Animals: Cats, dogs (mild), guinea pigs, bunnies, horses I am sure there are more I just don't know them LOL

    And last but not least I get extremely itchy from the sun. My doctors say it is an allergic reaction I don't know how to explain it but I swell up and itch so bad I could rip my skin off. After I tan for 2 weeks in a tanning bed it goes away. As they said it has something to do with my tan being a barrier. Sunblock does not help but I try to put it on anyway :(

    edit: there are other things like dust and somethings I don't have a clue on. I am on an allergy pill everyday because of my allergies but I still deal with it pretty well.

    I'm allergic to something, but I don't know what it is. I've had a couple reactions after using homemade soap, and the second one was much worse than the first. My doctor says if I come in contact with it again, it will be even worse. Typical store bought liquid soap is fine, so its not usually a problem but I avoid the homemade stuff and home and take my own with me on vacations.

    Cat dander -- I can be in the vicinity of a cat but cannot touch one without washing my hands and face immediately or my neck will break out in a rash plus my eyes will itch and water.

    Lactose (not so much an allergy as a sensitivity). So I drink a lot of almond milk.

    All insect bites and stings

    Almost all opiates and narcotics (I can handle Fentanyl)

    And it's looking like I've developed a lactose intolerance:(

    Used to be seafood but I still ate it! Just popped a Benadryl and then enjoyed my shrimp! But thankfully it doesn't seem to bother me anymore.

    Hyper-allergic to Aspirin. No epinephrine shot within 10 minutes or so I die. I can hold an aspirin in between my fingers and they swell up. It is really freaky knowing something benign can kill you in 10 minutes in a awful suffocating death.....

    Bees, wasps, ticks, tree pollen, grass pollen, weeds, poison ivy oak and sumac,chlorine, all nsaids, sulfa drugs, a few other antibiotics, bs (yep bullShi*), dust. I'm also allergic to heat. I used to break out in hives if I worked out, took a shower or even got into a hot car. It's called cholinergenic hives and it sucks because you not only itch, you feel like a million needles are sticking you! THANK GOD FOR ZYRTEC, since I now have hotflashes too. I'd be killing people.
    Old books are probably what bothers me the most. Well besides poison ivy if I get into it. I have some scars right now from camping a few weeks ago. :(

    Sulfa. My mom always suspected I was allergic to it because she's allergic to it, and my grandmother was allergic to it. So I never took it when I was growing up. A doctor prescribed it to me as an adult, and I didn't really think about it. Got full body hives. That was fun.
