I haven't found anything i'm allergic to, same for my parents.

the only exception is my fathers allergy for atropin, apparently it's extremely rare, and he only found out when he had eye surgery.

i'll get a test myself for it too sometime, atropin is something they inject in you when your heart fails, and usually, they do that without checking your wallet for allergy cards because time is low then.

I'm allergic to some pollens, but not too many (I only get hay fever around June). Once, I got a bout of hay fever and discovered that I was driving about ten cars behind a truck carrying a load of hay... go figure.

I am mildly allergic to peppermint. Any time I open a box of Altoids or other peppermints that are powdery, I want to sneeze.

I'll second that one!
I'm allergic to everything with fur (that they tested, anyway), birds, tree pollen, a few different foods, and cigarette smoke.

My animal allergies are severe, the tree pollen thing is hard to guage, but I'm always stuffed up and sneezing even when I'm not around animals. The foods aren't bad at all...milk is the only one that I have a discernable reaction to, and it's mild (just lots of phlegm). Cig smoke is nasty, causes my asthma to flare up too.

Going off subject somewhat, I'm alergic to work: I get, and all I want to do is go back home. I'm supposed to help out users with their computer problems, but all I want to do is to screw them up even more. And when I leave work to go home, all I want to do is to go back to work. So what am I really alergic to??

MSG gives me real problems.
Problems with large amounts of egg.
Dust/dust mites, large amounts of pollen...animal fur...
On medical advice, I don't eat red meat.

I have my worst allergic reaction to cats, however I am also allergic to many tree and grass pollens. I cannot be around or in a house with cats for more than an hour before I start ictching and sneezing. Any longer and I become completely goofy and unable to concentrate. One good thing is that my mother-in- law has alot of cats, so the visits are brief.
