Everything lol
Trees, grass, dust, cats, mango skin. A couple of other small things I can't remember.
All manageable. I take allergy meds daily, have really good air purifiers at home, use inhalers/eye drops/nasal spray when things get really bad (early spring time is the worst of it) and avoid mango at all costs since a lot of times even peeled mango as a tiny amount left on and I'll break out in hives even from a small piece of it.
The cat allergy is the least of my problems. The trees and grass are the biggest triggers.
No allergies apart from one weird experience. Many years ago whilst on holiday I bought some organic after- sun cream from a herbalist type shop. If I remember correctly it smelled of coconut.
Well, after a few minutes I started to itch like crazy all over. I'm not kidding, it was torture and if that had carried on for a long period I would have jumped off a bridge.
There are some sensations that are worse than pain and that was one of them.
I'm coeliac, so that's gluten allergy. I also have allergic rhinitis, but we've never worked out what the trigger is. I can't take oral allergy meds either (because of other meds), and I don't respond to the nasal drops. Oh, and wet hay gives me hives.
I don't have any major, life threatening allergies though, and I'm thankful for that.
Grass (pollen and cut grass), most tree pollens, ragweed, pine trees, lemongrass, the sun (Actinic Prurigo accompanied by nausea and headaches), peanuts, cucumber, zucchini, strawberries, tomatoes, bees, wasps, dust, mold, penicillin, sulpha drugs, ketoprofen, aspirin (more of a sensitivity), codeine, pineapple, horseradish,and raw potatoes. I am sure there are others that I am forgetting or do not know.
I have cibophobia linked to fruit, so I am not exposed to a lot of them; however, based on my current allergies, I likely have allergies to many fruits due to cross-reactivity. A few of my known allergies are linked to each other. For example, my raw potato allergy is related to my tree pollen allergy. My tomato, cucumber, and zucchini allergies are linked to my ragweed allergy. I am more allergic to tomatoes than I am cucumber and zucchini, though.
I get mild seasonal allergies and react to mold, dust and the like, nothing to complain about though, I don't even take meds for it. I do have very reactive skin, so I have to be careful what products I put on it and what I brush up against, I get hives really easy. Gardening can get scary looking, as I'm picking weeds or if a branch scratches me, I'll get welts, but they go away pretty quickly. Same with if I'm working with a patient (not ALL of them, just a couple), I'll get random hives on my arms, but when the session is done they go away. It does creep me out a bit though, I'll I can think of is what their hygiene is like if I'm reacting to just brushing up against them).
Wow! Some you are allergic to everything under the sun. I'm allergic to bee and wasp stings, but I control the reaction by taking a benedryl the minute I've been stung. I've avoided some major reactions that way.
I'm also allergic to cold temps, especially if there is a sudden change, like walking into a super-cooled building on a hot day. I get severe hay fever from this. In the winter, I have recurring bouts of it, and I take Claritin with pseudoephedrine in it. That helps a lot.
Luckily, I am NOT allergic to cats, dust, or dander. You should see what I vacuumed up yesterday. Shedding season is upon us.
Penicillin
Sulfa
Phenergan
Nickle
Sterling Silver
Dust
Tree, Grass, Weed Pollen
Wool, (Mohair, Cashmere, Angora)
Some cat litters
Lavender
May have begun a mild allergic reaction to the Vincie girl and Big Cal
The only thing that I'm allergic to that I'm aware of are bees and wasps. I have an EpiPen for severe reactions, but sometimes if I catch it early enough I'm able to pop a couple Benedryl and the reaction isn't as bad and using the EpiPen isn't necessary.
It hasn't been officially diagnosed as an allergy, but I always say deet when forms ask for allergies, because it really bothered me when my mom sprayed it on me once as a child, and I can't even be around it when other people put on bug spray with it because I don't like how it makes me feel.
What I don't put on forms is that a few years ago I had an allergic reaction to a pair of tights. idek, like I was walking a Thanksgiving 5k and I put on a new pair of tights, then leggings, then sweats, because it was pretty cold, and I kept getting itchier and itchier as the walk went on and when I got home I had hives all over my thighs (fortunately, there was benedryl cream easily available).
I did get a rash the last time I was on amoxicillin this past February, which I don't believe has ever happened before so idk. I did tell my doctor, even though it didn't itch or anything.
