I don't know exactly what all I am allergic to. Cats are a definate. Things outside in the spring, summer and fall bother me, but I don't know if it is pollen, grass, etc. I pretty much start taken Claritin in April and stop in October or November :)

metal on watches? yeah i have a friend who was allergic to his watch and his glasses. dr said it was because he was an artist and had been around a lot of chemicals.

as for me, juniper (which is awful because new mexico is full of them), latex, and wheat.
and i get headaches around cigarette smoke.

Amy: My mom's allergic to cats (The dander actually..same thing) and she has one, she just has to make sure the fur is always cleaned up or she gets all stuffy, maybe its the same for FLS?

I'm allergic to all sorts of pollens, both indoor and outdoor. My allergies last year round. In the spring I am allergic to the tree pollen, in the summer and fall, I'm allergic to ragweed and mold spores, and in the winter my allergies to pet dander flare up. I do not sleep well at night, cause I'm so stuffed up. I hate having allergies and they keep getting worse as I get older:mad:

I never had allergies until I moved to New England. I read somewhere that if you move to a different climate, it will take your body approximately 7 years to get used to the new pollen/environment etc. Since moving up here, I get wicked bad allergies in the springtime...I have sneezed for an hour sometimes. Grrr. But, last year I noticed that they were a little better, so I am hoping that next year will be even better still.

I am allergic to...........hard work...... :D

But seriously, I am not allergic to my pets. You think wearing contacts, I would have problems with the animal dust and furr. I do have to make sure to wash my hands before I work with my contacts, but that is a small price to pay. And with some other reactions I have read, it is nothing at all.

cats, peanuts, softshell crabs, penicillin, pollen, ragweed, dust, perfumes/dyes in detergent, adhesive (bandaids), scented candles...etc, etc, etc!

The worse time I ever had was when I lived in Arizona! Go figure.

I am allergic to a lot of stuff, such as: my rats/rodents in general, horses, I have HORRIBLE hayfever, grass, pine trees, nickel in belt buckles, dust (especially from brushing horses), dog saliva- this is weird, I get hives when certain dogs lick me, but others don't bother me :confused:, dandruff, Ragweed, pollen, eggs (i.e. certain foods made out of eggs), and I think that is about it.

Once and a while I get hives, but most of the time my eyes either water too much or dry out, my nose becomes runny or stuffy, my throat becomes terribly itchy, and my airway constricts causing me to use an inhaler (hayfever).

I'm not really allergic to anything, thank God. The only things I am allergic to are certain types of lotions/cosmetics. I use natural ones and I avoid makeup as much as possible because there have been times when I used certain lotions or cosmetic items and my whole face became red with pimples and rashes and it HURT! I'd rather be my natural self than use unnatural (full of chemicals) cosmetics that ruin my skin. Other than that, I don't think I'm allergic to anything.

Basically everything!! ;)

I had an allergy test a few years ago and the only thing that I didn't react to was cockaroaches!!!! YUCK!!!

I am allergic to pollen, trees, plants, cats, dogs, paper dust, dust, mold, etc. But, I take Allegra, Singular and a prescription eye drop when I need them.

Actually, my allergies seem to be much better lately. Go figure, I didn't have cats when I had the test done, now we do and I'm not as bad. Wierd....
