    Ibrufen brings me out with little bumps on my hands and head for some reason. Have to stay clear of Nurofen etc, and can only really take plain paracetemol

    Cat fur maked me sneeze. Great with 2 cats.....

    I went to school with a lad who had a peanut allergy and mistakenly ate a chocolate bar with peanuts in it. His throat swelled and he passed away before an ambulance arrived... Very sad. Was a top lad

    Allergic to the basic tetanus injection which I have to have every five years for work, so i get the "simple" tetanus jab.

    Also get a weak version of hayfever every summer, but if I try to mow the lawn when it is dry I get a very bad reaction, swollen eyes and throat etc

    Alcohol for me:- every time i drink more than 15 pints of stella the basic motor functions cease to work and my eyesight goes, I do however obtain the gift of tongues and can speak in an hitherto undiscovered language wherein are contained the secrets of the universe. Shame I can't manage English tho and why does Polish become so much easier?

    This is something that confuses me...

    Are we as a race gradually developing more allergies, or is a just that there is more research now, so we are more aware of them?

    ie: 50 years ago if someone had died from a reaction to eating a peanut, it would have just been thought of as a freak death?

    or 50 years ago did no one die from peanut allergies?

    Allergic to pears, oddly enough, and I have ridiculously bad Hay Fever.

    Hazelnut also makes me puke every time I eat anything with it in - but I've had that tested and apparently it's 'not an allergy'. So I guess eating a food that makes you physically sick every time it touches your throat is 'normal' then.

    Doctors don't know s***

    I'm allergic to seeing fat, overpaid to$$ers jog around on the pitch and pick up their 50 k a week. Hasselbaink..

    Since we've been in the Championship with Pardew as our leader i no longer get an allergic reaction to that.

    Seriously though i'm allergic to ear drops.

    Also i've got one annoying cold at the moment, anybody got any remedies etc?, so i can go Coventry feeling fine !

    Since getting my two cats Kevin and Perry i've discovered i'm allergic to their fur! Also lactose intolerant and I think i'm allergic to mint as cleaning my teeth with mint toothpaste makes me throw up and mints/chewing gum makes me sneeze!

    I think we have just become a bit of a softer society, there is just names for more things that's all. I will never be able to take anyone seriously who can lay claim to suffering an 'injury' from operating a computer and mouse all day for example.
