Scents in lotion

I am succeptible possibly to be allergic to shrimp one day, it runs in my family, but for now I enjoy it when I can

    My son is allergic to cockroaches. This wouldn't be a big deal except that he's having respiratory issues and I am starting to fear that the nasty critters are secretly hiding in my walls. :sick:

    Not me, but my husband is allergic to poultry. Makes cooking healthy foods a little more challenging.

    I think we're distant relatives!! I share the same except peaches, kiwi, and the meds!!!
    I'm also allergic to raw carrots, eggplant, squash, latex and bananas.
    Bizzarre!

    Awhile ago, I thought I was allergic to dish soap too. My husband thought this was a convenient excuse to not wash dishes :). But it turns out it was the hot water I was reacting to. It happens when exercising too. (Cholinergic urticaria--oversensitivity to increased body heat.) Fortunately, regular exercise decreases outbreaks, so I haven't had problems with it in over a year.

    I'm also allergic to any type of melon, strawberries, bananas. Only happened after I had my first child when the nurses gave me a huge bowl of melon and my throat almost swelled shut. That was scary!

    Hair bleach! after years of being a bottle blonde I developed an allergy that sent me from the hairdressers to ER.
    I found one now that doesn't react if I don't put it on my scalp so I can still be a bit blonde!

    Ibuprofen
    Penicillin

    Yeah, two great things to be allergic to. Ibuprofen will send me into anaphylactic shock and Penicillin gives me horrible hives, swelling, and makes me really physically sick.

    I am not really "allergic" to anything but my skin is sensitive so I can break out in rashes or bumps pretty easy and band aids can leave a rash on me!

    I was told when I was little that I was allergic to dead leaves LOL I was playing in a pile of dead leaves like most children do and like the next day I was all broke out. Might have been something in it but I will just stick to I am allergic to dead leaves so I don't have to rake them :wink:

    I'm allergic to coconut, pollen/typical sinus allergy stuff in the air, penicillan, and ironically benadryl. Benadryl makes me break out in hives.

    My husband is allergic to the fragrences in clothes detergents. They make him itchy.

    My cat is allergic to Red 40 though. THAT is a weird allergy. Took us months to figure out what was making her sick.
