What are you allergic to?

fussyonion

What are you allergic to? And what happens if you come into contact with it?
Does your face blow up like Father Bigley?
Do you grow a third eye?

I'm lucky that I'm not allergic to anything, though bananas make my gums itch a bit.

Enlighten us!

bnt

I get queasy if I eat raw tomato, that's about it.

Junkyard Tom

Jellyfish. Utter bastards.

Samsgirl

Shellfish. Eating it could kill me. If I come into contact with it I do indeed look like poor Fr Bigley.

Aidric

Cats.

Dust and anything that might trigger asthma.

aujopimur

My ex wife.

Tefral

Chocolate and penicillin!

Spearmint Polo mints. Not a word of a lie. Even one would give me a wicked bad sore throat for a week.

Oh, and Penicillin

People who read, and then take the time to comment on threads they find pointless

Turtyturd

Nothing I can think of, although eating mayonnaise too often gives me mouth ulcers.

OH is allergic to penicillin, and my son recently told everyone in school he was allergic to cheese (he just doesn't like it) which must have caused a panic as the teacher confiscated lunches to prevent anything happening.

Cark people

KKkitty

A type of antibiotic called klacid.

Gran Hermano

NKA

Mam of 4

An antibiotic called Clorum . Double up with stomach pains . Also Difiene and Tylex , beginning to think it's anything with traces of codiene in them to be honest.

Zaph

Grass pollen, and recently discovered that I'm now allergic to peanuts and hazelnuts, which is a real pisser because they're my two favourite nuts. They won't kill me, but I'll be pretty uncomfortable for a while until the swelling in my hands goes down and the feeling returns to my face.

Day Lewin

Wasps. I once collapsed four hours after a sting, and lay barely- conscious on the sofa for an hour, unable to move. Serious anaphylactic shock. I always carry an adrenaline spike now, just in case.
Also menthol makes my head swim in a groggy fashion.

Mightydrumming

I've never found anything I'm allergic to but I do get a fit of sneezing after eating dairy milk chocolate.

Allergic to Asprin
My face swells up, and I'm short of breath.

Allergic to latex.
Depends where the latex has come in contact, more just irritating I guess.

Allergic to something in beer (have no idea what)
Gives me hives, makes me vomit and gives me diahorria.

Nice.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Oh and a painkiller called zydol. Makes me pass out, and nauseous for days after. Voilently ill, and gives me black eyes for a few hours after taking it.

Jesus! Imagine taking an asprin to cure your head after too many beers

not yet

Nuts and pikeys mostly..

scrimshanker

Dust, pollen, moulds, anything irritating basically. Reacted to salt water during an allergy test. Atopy, they tell me.

Short haired dogs.

Like yourself developed a nut and coconut allergy just over a year ago. Serious stuff.

Also am allergic to penicillin, codeine, pollen,dust mites, aloe vera, chlorine, most washing powders, seaseme and poppy seeds, iodine so probably shellfish but as a veggie I don't know. I can't really eat fruit either as it gives me really bad cramps and diahorrea.

Basically my body seems to react to new things all the time and is probably gonna get to a point where am allergic to life!

Oh yeah dog dander, cat dander and rabbits have lately added to my woes. Love animals. 😞

NOS3

Sun cream.

Rubberlegs

I broke out in an all over rash after being given penicillin as a toddler. My mother was told to make sure I never had it again, as it could be fatal. It sounds a bit dramatic to me, but I never chanced it since

Summer wind

Tablet called nexium. I got a very itchy rash and my head and hands swelled up. Had to go to doctor because it got so bad I couldn't open and close my eyes properly and was gasping for air. The doctor said I had anaphylactic shock and my airway was shutting down. Had to get steroid injection into my arm muscle and was on tablets for 2 weeks after. Scary stuff.

sunbeam

Octocrylene-a chemical found in almost all sunscreens and and moisturisers with spf. Makes my face swell up.

Just a little Samba

****ing pollen, the cuntting stuff.

Reiketsu

Cheap metal like nickel etc. My ears fester and bleed within ten minutes of wearing earrings made from it. I also have hayfever but that's it.

Have never been stung but am terrified of wasps. Where do you get those adrenaline spikes?

Crazy_Fool

A painkiller called tramadol, causes a mighty itch, nausea and fainting.

Also nickel, no cheap jewellery from Penneys for me! Also means the other half can't get away without buying the good stuff

The_Valeyard

Loading the dishwasher correctly, according to my better half.

Novella

I'm allergic to ibuprofen. I found this out when I took two Nurofen one night a few years ago for really bad sunburn. I woke up the next morning and could barely open my eyes because my face was so swollen.

Yeah I believe that's the chemical I'm allergic to it's so hard to find sunscreen which doesn't contain it. :P

Often the first trigger is the mildest in reaction, but once the allergy has been triggered subsequent exposure is much worse.

Menas

I am allergic to my mums dog and the tree at the bottom of our garden. And hayfever. Pesky hayfever!

That's the worst bit.

If I could ban something - they'd be it

Sir Osis of Liver.

I have an allergy to bananas.

If I eat it I puke.If I rub banana on my skin I instantly come up in a massive rash.

Although,I woke up with a piss horn this morning that resembled a banana and it did me no harm.

bolopapa

Colser

Plug in air fresheners..bought 2 when they first came out and felt really sick for weeks until it dawned on me that thy might be the reason for it..plugged them out and instantly felt better..
