    Shell, you won't have this one.

    As stated in RBP, I am allergic to latex, which is kinda bizzare.

    What about you, fellow SPers?

    I kept the poll a simple yes/no, so if you voted yes, please post what allergies you have.

    Yup - cats, dust, dust mites (American and European -- apparently there are different types), my mom (just kidding, still recovering from the visit), olive tree pollen, and certain grasses found mainly in Midwestern business parks (which is odd, since I have never been to one).

    My eyes are allergic to air; they've watered 24/7 since I was a kid, at different rates depending on the temperature and purity of the air, but always at least a tiny bit. And there are probably others that I'm not aware of.

    I used to get nettle rash once or twice a year as a child, and the doctors thought I might be allergic to something or other. But they never found out what, and I haven't had anything as an adult.

    I occasionally get hayfever, not as bad as when I was a teenager when my eyeballs swelled up that much I was hospitalised and couldn't wear my glasses.

    Do I ever! Mugwort, hayfever, birch pollen, cats and wasps. But luckily none of them are too bad. Only itchy eyes, running nose and my heart racing like I was in constant danger.

    But now I've started to exercise more and have lots and lots of vitamin C. This seems to work since this august I haven't had my usual case of snot-infestation and high fever. :sick:

    Not that strange. Rubber allergies have been tops for the past 15 years, hence the bans on it in hospitals, care facilities and grocery stores.

    I have 1 allergy and no, I'm not saying what it is.

    Dust and pollen are the major ones... oh yeah, and valium. I also think I might be allergic to the adhesive in bandages, which for a klutz like me, is not good.

    Nope. As far as I know, I am immune to it all.


    @DoTW: Latex huh? That's gotta suck.

    At first, it sucked big time, then I discovered that there were polyurethane alternatives - so I no longer need to paint bare-handed and wash my hands in thinner.

    For the other part of latex allergy, I'll deal with it in due time.

    Let's see... mil, eggs, wherat, nuts, soy, cats, dogs, pollen, dust, sust mites... i think that's all of it.

    And as you can probably guess, I am ignoring just about all of them.

    Mango and Diclofenac, which is a common painkiller used after surgery and for some other stuff I believe.

    The first (Mango) just makes me sick. The second is an anaphylactic reaction.

    Yeah, I just discovered that. Hopefully those polyurethane alternatives are more effective than the natural membrane ones (which used to be the only alternative)...

    I think I'm allergic to the sun... whenever I step into bright sunlight, I sneeze for a minute or two.

    But in all seriousness, I am luckily allergy-free.
