    I'm allergic to shellfish. I didn't take it seriously until I ate something with shrimp in it and my throat started closing up. Now I'm very careful about what and where I eat.

    I also am pretty sure I have a gluten intolerance but I haven't quite admitted that yet. :)

    I am severely allergic to poison ivy, oak and sumac. I get it just from the wind blowing.

    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

    :wink:

    false.. dunno where you got that from...

    Pollen, nickel and egg fried rice. The only one that bothers me is the last one. I can buy hayfever tablets and wear more expensive earrings but I used to love egg fried rice. I'm not sure which ingredient I'm allergic to, not eggs anyway. I get a rash all over my body and have to get steroid cream from the doctor if I eat any.

    Damn near everything it seems like. Ragweed, pollen, grass, trees, cats, dogs, mites, almonds.....

    I get allergy shots 1-2 times per week and get 7 shots every time I go in. Been 2.5+ years and they have really helped. So much so that we were able tips finally get a cat.

    Just remembered another annoying allergy. Bourgeouis eyeshadows. And that brand do the nicest colours. Not fair. They make my eyes all puffy and cracked it's just disgusting, can barely see.

    Peanuts and soy protein are my worst allergies. I also have allergies to many other things such as pollen, dust, cats, and perfume.

    I'm Allergic to Onions, Garlic, Bell Peppers, and artificial raspberry flavoring.
    I'm lactose sensitive (I can eat dairy, and most without taking a lactase pill, but sometimes massive quanities of cheese/milk will require a lactase pill so I don't get ill)
    I don't care for cranberries or grapefruit so I will tell waiters/waitresses that I'm allergic to those two things too ;-P

    Are you a werewolf?? :laugh: I kid, honestly.

    I am allergic to morphine, the hospital gave me a morphine pump after I had a c-section. Everytime I got some I was violently ill. Not fun when your stomach muscles are trying to heal.

    I am allergic to a few things. I discovered last year that I am allergic to something in the flu shot (not eggs though). We haven't done official testing on that yet, but having my throat close up and not being able to breathe and having to go to the hospital was a pretty good clue.

    I also have a few skin allergies. There is something in cardboard that makes my skin welt up when it touches it (like the cut edges of the cardboard). I worked in a factory for 3 years and had to fold cardboard a few times. The welts went away after a few hours but it looked awful (may be an irritant and not an allergy but meh). I am allergic to latex, which sucks. Also found that out at my factory job as the reaction happens after prolonged exposure (we had latex gloves). Once they switched to non latex, I was fine.

    I'm allergic to pollen of every sort, onions, mushrooms, coconut, pineapple, cats, and dogs.

    Original Palmolive dish soap, orange surgical tape, some artifical scents, cigarette smoke. Red eyes, sniffles, cough and migraine with the last one. Both my parents smoke in their house, so visiting is brutal. They live a 10 hour drive away, so it doesn't happen often, but my mom always asks if we're staying night there when we visit. I have to explain every time. I'm thinking of just not visiting in their house at all until they quit, just go and have them come to my sister's house where we stay when we're there.
