I am curious to know
Jump to: Newest in thread
Some (but not all) cats. Discovered on a first night with a bloke who had two house cats, when my eyes swelled shut and I was wheezing my head off.
It wasn't the impression I'd have chosen to make, but I'm sure he still remembers the night. |

Yes sesame seeds, not very good once you realise you’ve eaten nearly half a tub of hummus and it has tahini in it 
(where’s the blotchy skin, swollen tongue, itchy hands n feet, gotta make yourself vomit emoji)  |

Where to start.. 
I have Anaphylaxis to a certain medication. I then have a number of severe allergies causing face/eyes/lips swelling which I end up having steroids and antibiotics for when needed. And then a few less minor that cause skin blotches rashes etc where I just take fexofenadine for them. They range from tree sap to waterbased products to perfume, even some spices etc.
It only came on around 8 years ago out of the blue. It took a while to get it all under control and on a whole I can manage it day to day but then when I least expect it a massive reaction happens all over again.
But touch wood they are getting less frequent now

"Only certain metals...nothing serious, I just avoid metal watch straps, large belt buckles, and any jewellery that isn't gold, silver or platinum. "
Or has diamonds?  |

"Aye two, yogurt and penicillin
I've come across loads of patients allergic to penicillin. Apparently it's not that rare  "
It’s not all but two of my family are. I don’t do well with the alternative antibiotics either, but it’s less of a severe reaction and more manageable. Good job I don’t get sick much |

"Aye two, yogurt and penicillin
Also allergic to penicillin apparently. On my medical records from when I was a child. No idea what it does to me.
Oh, and hayfever!"
Can you ask your folks ? It’s good to know what happens, just in case.
I say this as once had a GP give me penicillin even though I’d told him I was allergic (plus on my records) and what happens. He thought I might have grown out of it, was his explanation when I was back there 30 minutes later |

Yes, fuck loads!
I had a grass test once & the person doing the sensitivity test put too much grass extract from the Pipette, wich in seconds blew up like a Arnold Scwarzeneger massive vain on my arm.
The solution ran from above the elbow to my wrist. She replied: "oh dear that is bad!" No shit, yer think?
Within hours my arm went very pink piggy red and stated to move up towards my shoulder. I had to take a few anti-histamines & was scratching all the day at work..... Not nice!!! |

I broke out in a full body rash when I had it as a kid. Was told it could get progressively worse, so not to take it again. |

Feathers.. which is a real shame as feather pillows and duvets are the most comfy pillows.. however as I prefer to be able to breathe whilst sleeping I cannot use them.
Tree pollen.. spring is not a joy for me! |
