[cite]Posted By: RedArmySE7[/cite]Since getting my two cats Kevin and Perry i've discovered i'm allergic to their fur! Also lacoste 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!
great cat names dude, but how can you be allergic to a clothing brand!! ;-)
She’s partularly allergic to caffeine and theine, nuts and fresh ginger (but powdered is OK). She also an intolerance to certain highly processed foods.
I’ve spent my entire life showing no allergic reactions to anything. This year, after taking ibuprofen, which I’ve taken many times before, I come out in a weird little rash on my head and neck.
I’m 54. Why has this happened now all of a sudden? Nothing else does it, just ibuprofen.
Anything that comes out the sea, plus especially fish smell either cooked or partially fresh fish.
So annoying as my wife loves fish, cant have it in house, so we when go on holiday she have it at every opportunity, but you should see the confusion when I tell the waiter I got a fish allergy and straight after she order fish.
For anyone suffering from hay fever, you can grow out of it. I used to suffer very badly, but for the last few years, apart from itchy eyes occasionally I've been ok.
My husband is the opposite, he has developed hay fever as he has got older.

I'm like you. Much better now I'm older with the hayfever. Hopefully won't see a relapse come June and early July which is when I normally suffer. Grass pollen. No food allergies that I'm aware of.
Dust Mites. (Well, their crap to be more precise.) Had been using a steroid nasal spray for decades. On a recent trip to see a nurse practitioner - actual doctors are a figment, right? - she expressed extreme surprise that the middle of my nose hadn't fallen out. I am now on antihistamine tablets. Not as effective but my nose still exists.
Allergic to cats, so decided to marry a women with 5 cats last year. Used to look forward to holidays for the usual reasons - beach, sunshine, nice food etc. Now look forward to them primarily as a mean's of getting two weeks without sneezing or breathing difficulties.
Penicillin. Both me and my sister. I don’t have any recollection of the effects as I was very young when given it. It’s marked across my medical notes at the doctors,(well it was last time I went years ago). I was told by mother that it was not too nice. I have never been given it since, I have had alternative antibiotics without any issues but not too often thankfully. My sister was given Penicillin by a dentist when she was in her early twenties, it took months for the reaction to subside.
I have a friend with a peanut allergy which developed later in life. Very serious condition which can be set off by just opening a jar of peanut butter in the same room. Worst thing for her, she used to love anything with peanuts in it.

Same for my wife with the nut allergy. Even someone opening a pack in the theatre, cinema, plane etc can be pretty bad for her.

Grass and some tree pollen. Dog fur and saliva Cat hair (we have got 3 cats!)
Some nuts. Can hapoily eat peanuts, cashews, pistachios but almonds, walnuts and brazil nuts give me a bad reaction but not anaphylacric.
Youngest daughter had a very bad reaction to her first ever try of peanut butter on toast which led to a whole host of tests which says she is very bad with all nuts but worst with sesame. We have to carry epipens with us everywhere we go.
I got past 50 without suffering from 'hay fever' but it then developed over the next 20+ years. Not grass, but tree pollen from late February to May then various spores etc in October and November.

If you saw my wardrobe you'd be forgiven for mistaking me for a scouser so no worries of me being allergic to that!
I thought I’d post this as it’s very helpful for hayfever sufferers:

I vouch for the simple Vaseline prevention although I bought a special wax product that works even better.
For more severe sufferers maybe some of the advice in the article will help.

Thankfully don't seem to have any food allergies anymore.

Serious (in that I could die) ones are peanuts and tree nuts.
Pollen, cats, dogs (animal fur), dust mites are quite bad.
People with hard right political views make me sick.
Your last point is certainly about moral and intellectual superiority, you suffer for your compassion.
