things you're allergic too?

Postby Tenshi no Ai » Fri May 05, 2006 11:11 am

I'm on a topic-making roll today! (Just one of those days where I get different ideas of topics to make^^)

Anyhow... everyone has at least ONE allergy to something, I'm sure. So what are you allergic to? (By the way, who was it on the chat that said you were allergic to chocolate? I feel bad for you v_v)

As for me my list is as follows:

- prickly/pokey things (like my hedgehog, a fir tree/hedge thing, and dry grass... I break out in a temporary red rashy thing but doesn't itch, more or so tingles :/)

- the sticky part of band aids, but only those kind that have the thick material and thick sticky stuff on it (do they still even make those anymore?)

- bee stings and sulfa medication (only supposingly, do to heredity)

- also supposingly is animal fur but my cat doesn't bother me and I only get say an itchy nose if I go to the SPCA :/ Not sure if that would even count^^

-Perfume, scented candles, lotions, etc.
-Bubble bath and some cheap shampoo.
-Some pollenous flowers and weeds, especially scotch broom.
-Alcoholic beverages(when I was a little girl, I'd always throw up if I had even a teeny-tiny sip of one of my parents' drinks in a restaurant)

I can't think of anything, other than poisen oak or a bit of pollen.

Argh, as a kid, I was allergic to EVERYTHING. A few of the most outstanding allergies were:

1) Grass. I'd roll down hills and come inside covered in rashes.

2) Metal. I had a perpetual rash cause by the button on my jeans. My mom had to paint all the metal fasteners on my clothes with clear nail polish to keep me from having a reaction, but, even then, it didn't completely remedy the problem.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I'm allergic to pollen, raw apples, raw almonds and raw hazelnuts. Actually, I'm allergic to a lot of raw nuts and fruits; they have to be cooked.

Nuts. I can endure eating some, but peanuts, macadamias, and cashews can send me to the hospital. D: Don't know how that works.

Pollen does a number on me, too. And apparently I'm mildly allergic to shrimp - I pricked my finger accidentally on a shrimp tail and my finger inflated like a balloon.

I was allergic to cats as a kid, but my best friend, whom I've known since kindergarten, owns 8 cats. I guess I had to get over that one to survive.

And I'm sure I have PLENTY more allergies lurking around somewhere. =_=

Latex (I got to wear cool purple gloves in Anatomy), cheap metal (like in earrings), mildly to citric acid, and I'm also really sensitive to alcohol (the tiniest bit makes me violently sick).

The usual pollen and dry grasses and all the other hayfever related things we have in abundance in Australia. I hate Spring because of it. I don't know if I'm allergic to bee stings because I've never been stung by a bee (inch-ant bites are painful as anything though).

Pollen, cigarette smoke, and sometimes I can't take scented candles, too strong.

Life is not about us using God for our purposes, but about Him using us for His purposes.

Faith is not creating a false reality, but acknowledging God's promises for us.

The dreams I dream for you
Are deeper than the ones your clinging to
Let the old dreams die
Like stars that fade from view
And take the cup I offer
And drink deeply of the dreams I dream for you

I am not sure I understand the question correctly. Do you mean stuff that will make you sick / feel bad, but other people may find them ok?

If so, I am allergic to:

1. Secondhand cigarette smoke (if I inhale it)
2. Fire
3. Sharp objects
4. When I am full, looking at food sometimes induces a desire to vomit in me

Allergies are due to an overactive immune system. You are probably allergic to 1, but there is no way you are allergic to 2-4. Rather, it's more like something that scares you silly rather than histamine doing a number on your body.

Oh thanks for the detailed explanation. In that case, I am not allergic to anything as far as I know. 1 - 4 above are just things I dislike, but my body doesn't act up. :)

Pollen, pine (no live Christmas trees in our house!), ragweed, grass... Pretty much anything that's a plant, I guess. Although this year, I've done very well, which I attribute to my really strong new allergy medication that few people, including some doctors, have heard of.

I'm also allergic to citric acid, so fruit is pretty much out for me, unless it's coated in something. I can eat apple pie, for example, because it's coated in the pie stuff.

Finally, I'm allergic to stupidity. Stupid people make me break out in anger. :lol:

I am allergic to:

1. Nothing.

:D
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

In our labs, the only gloves we use are made either of vinyl or nitrile. I suprised that labs or clinics still use latex at all.

I'm dust sensitive like many people and it doesn't help that my mum's a seamstress that does a lot of work at home. That tends to throw up a lot of dust especially when she clips the small bits of fabric.

I'm allergic to mango tree pollen when the trees are flowering. I get all sniffly and my eyes water like crazy...people think I'm crying ^.^;...
As an added bonus, mango trees are nice and popular in Miami.

I reacted years ago in six grade back in the 60s to penicillin pills for pneumonia. I ended up with hives. That is the only thing I know of.

I get those too..I thought they were just from Chiggers or the Chloroform on the grass....

When I was in the 2nd grade my mom tried this new laundry detergent called Sun or something like that..Anyway, the next day I broke out in hives...and we stopped using the product...(Oat meal bath...fuuunn)
