Are you allergic to anything?

[Locut0s]

I own two cats.

Evil itch inducing fuckers!

I'm allergic to bullshit, the bigger the bullshit, the sicker i feel and i have heard some major bullshit.

 

[KeithTalent]

Not that I'm aware of.

lol. i remember the feeling

 

[Ika]

Went in for an allergy test a couple years ago and they pegged me on five things. Can't remember them all, but...

dust mites
cats (not very much... I handle cats all the time, no allergic reaction. never owned one though)
cockroaches (wtf)
tree pollen
something else I can't remember. might've been like ragweed or something

I don't normally have allergic reactions but every so often I'll get a terrible allergy attack and won't be able to function normally until I take a powerful antihistamine and knock myself out for a couple of hours. My allergies have the snowball effect - once my nose starts to itch, it never ends.

How did you get to 4,000+ posts?

Certain types of cats. Pollen, apples, cherry, and shrimp. Shrimp I've been allergic since I was a kid. The rest I developed the last several years. I developed tolerance to cooked shrimp but I can't touch raw ones. Apples and cherries I can eat cooked stuff fine. Raw irritates me.

Pollen is my biggest enemy. I started suffering about two years ago and pollen levels can get really bad here in Georgia.

Cedar/Juniper, Ragweed, Penicillin

Those are my main allergies. Lucky for me Cedar/Juniper pollen will skyrocket in a few weeks in central texas and I'll be living in hell, allergy wise. I need to move...

 

[Bateluer]

Penicillin is the big one for me, the results are bad. I also have some allergies to pollen&dust, but its more uncomfortable than life threatening. Mop the floor, blow the PC out outdoors, change the AC filters regularly, don't shake the pollen producing plants while standing next to them, and I'm usually fine.

 

[schneiderguy]

No, I have superior genes. Feels good man.

 

[Kadarin]

Just two very mild allergies that I'm aware of: Pollen and peppermint. Both make me sneeze. Only certain types of pollen though, not all.

 

[Squisher]

Only to the contrast (iodine) they give you when getting some X-rays. I can take it if they prep me with prednisone and have me take some benadryl just before they give it to me. But, they also keep a kit ready in case I have a heart attack. The worse that ever happened was like 400 raised red bumps all over my body which seemed to alarm a lot of people, but really didn't affect me.

Nothing that I am aware of, but perhaps a certain pollen of which I don't know what it is. I think I may be allergic to yogurt lately as it just runs through me, curiously other milk products are typically fine (unless its incredibly rich).

 

[BassBomb]

I used to be allergic to anything growing outside, long term allergy shots helped with that... now its pretty much dust but still greens outside if I am out in a forest or something for a good while (especially in spring or fall)

I developed "bee-sting" allergy when I was 3-4 years old. I got stung over 400 times and almost died. The doctors told me I MIGHT eventually grow out of it...and it looks like I finally did...at about age 50.

I'm also allergic to codeine and most of its derivatives. Hydrocodone...who almost no one is allergic to...causes severe hives, my throat swells nearly shut, and can send me into Anaphylactic shock. Fortunately, Benadryl helps quite a bit, because stupid doctors never want to believe me...I guess they're too used to being scammed for "better drugs," and I'm the guy who doesn't want the fucking pain pills in the first place. I'll only take them when I absolutely have to take them...and I've gotta be hurting pretty bad before I will.

My wife is allergic to Aloe Vera. She's one of the less than 0.5% world wide who are allergic to the stuff. This sucks big time. Most girly make-up products have some form of Aloe in them, nearly all sun screens have it, the packaged "hand wipes" almost all have aloe, etc., etc.
She has to pay very close attention to package labeling.

Fuck. The world must look like a mine field to you. What happens with Canola oil? Basically means you can't eat out I imagine. Not many places would even understand what you were talking about if you told them you were allergic to canola oil.

Canola oil causes anaphylaxis, which means eating out becomes a case of whom do you trust. The answer is very few, I read labels on everything before I eat it. No label? Then it never touches my lips.

It does help expose fraudulent restaurants. Shortly after I was diagnosed with the allergy to Canola [a too close call with death, but from home cooking], I went out to a chic & very expensive supposedly gourmet French restaurant. This place was rated highly by local newspaper & magazine restaurant critics. I asked if they would only use olive oil in preparing my dinner & told them of my allergy to Canola. I also explained that 'vegetable' oil was also forbidden as it can be anything. The Maitre d' had to return from the kitchen admitting that the place used off the shelf bottled sauces and their entrees came frozen and pre-sauced, even the salads were pre-dressed. Nothing was made from scratch & everything had Canola oil. Their customers were suckers, the critics must have zero sense of taste. As my hungry friends grumbled and ate their expensive French tv dinners, I made it through the evening on a few chunks of cheese and a couple glasses of wine. We never dined there again.

Poll still needs multi-select. Ragweed (I assume) and oysters.

 

[TwiceOver]

No allergies!

 

[bignateyk]

I'm allergic to everything. Seriously. The skin test has around 80 things on it, and I come up positive for about 75.

Just off the top of my head: Every kind of pollen, mold, dust, pet dander

In the foods I am allergic to:

Tree nuts (peanuts and almonds)
Shellfish (shrimp and lobster)
Soy
Oral Fruit Allergy Syndrome (potatoes, pitted fruits, citrus fruits, carrots, and many more). If they are cooked slightly I can eat them though. This isn't usually classified as a "true" food allergy. It stems from a birch pollen allergy.

The only common things I'm NOT allergic to are dairy, wheat, bee stings, and penicillin.

It's ok, I feel so much better now that I know what it is that it's unreal. I used to feel depressed and sick and get crazy migraines and have random blackouts and now that has all subsided for the most part. Since discovering what it was, I've had one migraine in the last 2 years as opposed to 10+

Oh, you're one of the Diesel wearers...

 

[BurnItDwn]

No known allergies, unless you count reactions to plants like poison ivy...
