My allergies have grown and gotten worse the older I've gotten. It stinks. I am allergic to all things green outdoors but that doesn't stop me. I can live with the hives. I am allergic to apples, oranges, tomatoes, strawberries, pretty much anything that's acidic. I try to have them in very small amounts, if at all. I've also just learned I am VERY allergic to smoke, spending 5 days with my parents who both smoke like chimneys just about put me over the edge.
