Do
you have any allergies?I'm allergic to a few pollens, most insect bites, my own
sweat and stupidity in all forms.

Nope, no allergies to anything whatsoever.

I have several food, drug and environmental
allergies. Food -- eggs, peas, the sap from mangoes (if someone peels them I can eat them,
but if I touch the peel I break out in a painful rash), handling tomatoes, eggplant, and
potatoes also make me break out in a painful rash, but I can eat them. Plums, nectarines,
apples (but I eat them anyway and deal with the hives). Most nuts, walnuts and pecans are
one of my most serious allergies -- my throat closes and I break out in hives in my mouth
and throat. But I can eat almonds, go figure.
Drug -- codeine, sulpha, pseudoephedrine,
codeine
Environmental -- cats, various
pollens and grasses.

Mild hayfever in the spring and fall, and
citrus fruits.
Jane, 60

Ohhh yes definitely. But we don't know what
I'm allergic to. I may have chronic urticaria (had it for two years now) - we don't know.
But we're still trying to find out what I'm allergic to.

No. Although over the last couple of years,
I have noticed that I get stuffed and sneezy in the Fall. Perhaps I am developing
allergies.

penicillin, cats & dogs,
anything with fur or anything that grows out of the
ground

I used to have terrible sinus trouble in the
late summer/early fall. Now it's no more than sniffles. I had it so badly a couple of
years that I went for shots every few weeks. As for medication - there's a drug used for
nausea called Compazine. I was treated with this drug in my teens during a hospital stay,
and had a terrible reaction; my tongue swelled up and all the muscles in the back of my
neck started to draw downward...causing my head to pull up and back until I was nearly
choking. Luckily, the reaction occurred during visiting hours and there were people around
to summon help. That was one of the scariest things to go through.

Yup: Allergies reek of heinosity. Pollen,
ragwood, all that springtime crap. I also have a bit of asthma, which is totally bogus.

Milk.
Jonathan, 19

Yes, to dust (it makes my nose all yucky and
stuffy, and I can't breath), mold, and cigarrete smoke.
Sarah S., 17
Ithaca, NY
USA
I'm allergic to cigarette(tobacco) smoke,
dust, spring, elastic, cats, and some other furry animals. Fortunately, none of my
reactions are severe, so I consider myself lucky.
Eric, 19
Beverly Hills, CA USA
I suffer from terrible hay fever. Between
May and August every year, I have a permanant red, running nose and I'm constantly
sneezing. I take medication which helps (when I remember to take it) but it would help
even more if any budding scientists were to find a cure.
Shanna, 15
Cardiff ENGLAND
`Yup. None to food really, but I have a few
medications and just about everything growing outside right now that I'm allergic
to!
Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA
Yes I do, many of them... I haven't had them
identified specifically but I am always sniffling and beary eyed around this time of year.
Something out there is kicking my butt right now for sure.
Maggie, 20
Sandwich, IL
USA
I'm not sure. Ive had a bad reaction to
caffiene but drink it with no terrible effects nowadays. I got stung by something once on
my mouth and my lip swelled up real bad, but im not sure that's proof im alergic either.
Talia, 23
Wilton, CT

I'm allergic to peanut butter.
Kevin M.
Yes i do, to a certain medicine that I
cannot spell, so I just won't bother trying.
Maria
