I'm allergic to Crustaceans (eg. prawns/shrimps, lobster, crab, crayfish, yabbies) which is a real pain. I don't miss eating any of it, it's just a nuisance when at a bbq for example and I have to ask my steak be cooked completely away from the seafood and the plate be clean of any juices etc. Platters of pastries I have to remember to ask what is inside them as prawn/crab meat are a popular filling.

I swell up when bitten by a bee, but nothing else happens , so much be just a mild allergic reaction. I suffer from hayfever too :roll:


Are you allergic to anything? I think my allergy to crustaceans is quite common.

Just the adhesive on band aids, but they solved that problem with the hypo allergenic ones, problem solvered :)

oh all you lucky people with no allergies.

I'm like gymjunkie and allergic to some of the adhesive on bandages even the hypoallergenic ones. At the moment I have a huge red rash down my left arm from a bandage.

We are not allowed to give out band aids to kids at soccer unless their parents come in and ask for them for that reason- but I thought it was a bit strange- now I realise it must be a bit more common than I thought.

Cats, and horse would you believe LOL. Doesn't stop me owning them, the reaction gets less and less over time to each particular animal. Though I have never gotten a resistance to Misty, and she always sets me off.

And the other usual stuff, dust etc.

I am allergic to housework, too!! Imagine that. I dont have any other allergies, per-say, but I found I was allergic to one of our dogs, while she was dirty. If I was to pat her, then I would come out in hives if I didnt go and wash straight away. I dont have an allergy to Scooter, though, which is good, coz he gets dirty all the time!! The other dog was a short hair, too, so that might have something to do with it - Scooter has long hair. I have only had this happen to me from short haired dogs.

I get hayfever, but not too bad, though. My mum was really bad and had a really sensitive nose. I thought that, since we share so many similar traits, that I would inherit this, too, but I am lucky.

I'm allergic to bee stings too...it was really bad when I was a kid but it seems to get better as you get older. Not that I've been stung in years! I think being allergic to nuts would be terrible..everything you buy seems to come with the warning 'may contain traces of nuts'. Including all chocolate bars!

Im allergic to the band Oasis - it brings out a very verbal violent attack.....and also food wise Im allergic to peas, chick peas, lentils and okra (lady fingers) - these foods my grandma used to cook to perfection and it was after a bowl of lentil soup that I started to swell up and off to the hospital I went!. Damn!!!

I cant eat hommous and I love the smell. But I cant even smell any of the above without getting a reaction, which is probably psychological, but I do need those Epi Pens (adrenaline needles) just in case. I have to carry them around with me but I havent even renewed my prescription from when they expired 3 years ago! :roll: . Oops!

I'm also allergic to that but haven't really tried the hypo allergenic ones. I have problems with hypo allergenic tape (which I use to strap my knee) so I may have the same problems with the bandaids.

Nothing else that I know of.
