    Cats make my neck and throat itch like crazy, eyes water and sneezing galore! I've never confirmed this with a doctor.

    Edit: left out a word

    Penicillin and shellfish confirmed, and avocado suspected (projectile vomiting an hour after eating it every time :(( ) I get hives from cats and dogs but it's getting better. I take zyrtec before bed every night and cuddle my cat with few problems.
  • Allergic to lots of stuff. Dust, pollen, mold, ragweed, cats, dogs, grass, etc. All of the seasonal stuff. I did have some type of allergy that we never figured out that would make me break out in hives daily. Horrible painful hives that I dealt with for years. Miraculously it went away when I got pregnant with Eliza and it's never returned. I hope it stays that way.

  • All weeds, grass, and most trees native to where I live despite growing up here. A touch of cat and dust mites. No food allergies.
  • I'm allergic to several antibiotic items but no foods or seasonal things.

  • So many things. Cats, dogs, all the pollen, grass, mold, and shellfish.

    I get what @econmama‌ says about chocolate because that's shrimp for me. The smell of it is nauseating. (Insert pukey face here.)
  • *and yes, confirmed by allergist.
  • Pollen, cats, dogs, and shrimp. Not confirmed by an allergist. I get severely itchy and get an asthma attack with the first 3. With shrimps, I break out in hives and my mouth swells up.
  • @chiboo9 see a doctor about your shrimp allergy please! That's a serious symptom :(
  • I was allergic to penicillin as a child but I don't know of anything I'm allergic to as of now.

    Bananas make my mouth peel (if that makes sense?) not bad or anything, it's just noticeable.
  • Seafood of all varieties except tuna. I can't even be around it when it is cooked for long periods of time.
    Seasonal allergies.
    One of the pain meds after Alex was born. Tylenol three maybe?
  • Seasonal allergies are the devil.
    I also have awful hives with lavender & cloves.

    Sigh. I know. I love shrimp, though. Like, really love. I just can't have more than 2-3 pcs. I can usually start feeling it and know my limit.

    Besides, I love my puffy Angeline Jolie lips that result in having too many...
  • Gastrointestinal allergy to sweet potato. :-q. . So lame, I love sweet potato.
  • edited November 2014
    Hayfever, rye, mold (bread mold, mold on cheeses, etc), and also penicillin and all its derivatives (which, mold, so I guess that's all the same allergy). And tobacco. I got a scratch test done once and the tobacco one was CRAZY.

    When I was a kid, I had a ton of food allergies, including: apples, tomatoes, chocolate, wheat, and corn. None were life-threatening, but I'd get eczema and sometimes hives.

    ETA: and eggs! I forgot those! Thankfully most of the food allergies faded away as I got older.

  • Oh man too many allergies...

    Penicillin

    Seasonal allergies to pollens etc

    Some nuts (mainly tree nuts)

    A crap load of raw fruits and vegetables that I can only eat when cooked (bananas, strawberries, watermelon, carrots, celery, zucchini, cherries, peaches, nectarines, plums, apples... The list goes on. I can mainly eat citrus fruits, some berries and grapes)

    Soy

    Cats

    Not everything has been confirmed by a doctor, but itchy throat and swelling is pretty good confirmation for me.
  • Seasonal allergies. I never noticed them in NY but they get bad down here in DC. Not sure if it's age or geography.

  • Used to only be seasonal allergies and cats. Then I moved away from home and when I went back, noticed I would get a reaction from my dog too. Certain breeds are worse than others and cats are still worse. Also when I was pregnant with Delilah I suddenly seemed to become allergic to stone fruits. They make my mouth and lips tingly and throat itchy now. None have been confirmed by an allergist though.

  • @mermomo5‌ nbooooo not green olives I would die. I put them on everything.

    Me I've got penicillin, peanuts, parabens, nickle confirmed

    I'm starting to think soy and apples. I won't let them give me codeine because everyone on my moms side has had awful reactions.

    Hay fever is also bad

  • Pertussis vaccine.

    And I think something in the woods because my hands will get really itchy if I'm in the woods for awhile.

    Same thing happens to me, sucks!
  • I just noticed DD has some eczema on the inside of her elbow and on her face/stomach. Hmm. She hasn't eaten anything out of the ordinary, so I guess I'm going to have to play detective...maybe the heat coming on?

    @Silv3rlining‌ WTF?? What even was he thinking??

    I get hives sometimes from going from the cold to a heated place.

    @casey78 that is my reaction as well! I get really rapid and irregular heartbeats with the pseudophedrine too.
    Ditto - not as severe as others have described, but I'm pretty anti-sudafed these days. Rapid heartbeat, jitters, etc.

    No sadz! Don't take it, no problem! ;)

    powering through nasty colds/cruds on advil, 2 days afrin, and hot tea just kind of stinks, tho.
    All hail the god of breathe-right strips!
