    Cats
    Dust
    Mold
    Pollen
    Shellfish - crab, shrimp, lobster, crayfish... even the smell of it cooking makes me sick; my throat itches, I start sneezing, and I usually get a horrible headache because it smells so bad. :/

    Sorbitol. The artificial sweetener. Kinda scary since it is in sooooo many things, and closes off my throat.

    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: .

    *above is a quote from another user

    You and I may be related. Add in dust, dust mites, dust mite droppings, cat dander, rodent dander, most all the farm animals, insect bites, chlorine, feathers and bird dander, latex and any vaccinations grown in egg base (I ended up with 4hrs of emergency care after I got a flu and a pneumonia vaccine). Went through over 15 years of allergy shots and I still need daily (yes, year round) allergy meds so I can breathe through my nose. I have to carry and take extra benadryl for sudden allergy attacks or when I know I'm going somewhere I will be exposed to allergens. I've had allergies and asthma since I was born. :sad:

    Honey tangerines. Random thing to be allergic to since it's not something common where I shop for produce and for the fact regular tangerines I can eat just fine.

    I also have a mild allergy to penicillin. Gave me horrific rashes on my arms that took almost two months to get rid of.

    Coconut and amoxicillin. I always have a bad reaction to penicillin, but it won't kill me.

    I spent five years taking prescription allergy medicines, even though I felt like none of it worked. My doctor thought I was just being a hypochondriac, but eventually I get an allergy test. Turns out I have NO environmental allergies (of the ones they tested for, anyway). I just had a deviated septum, which brought on all of the sinus related problems, and explains why I never had any other allergy like symptoms. Anyway, I feel for people who have real environmental allergies.

    Aspirin -- My throat swells shut and my chest feels like it's going to cave in. I learned that the hard way with a trip to the ER when i was in high school.

    I have some seasonal allergies that pop in the spring, but nothing too unbearable.

    Sulfa is the biggest. But also: horses, dogs, cats and bermuda grass. We have horses, dogs cats and we feed bermuda hay!:flowerforyou:

    I get a series of three alergy shots every other week to counter alergies (since basically the Alergist told me I was alergic to everything in life)---except for water.

    We live out in the country and have lots of animals. It's a lifestyle we choose and we love, so I'd rather just get the three shots and then all is good to go... Too much life out there to live!:laugh:
