Yes, lots of stuff that grows here in Oklahoma. In the spring it's cedar trees. The main culprit in the fall is ragweed. Then there are some cheeses, and coconut.

I am taking allergy shots year round, and meds in the spring and fall, and add nasal spray as I get miserable.....

Right now, I am maxed out on allergy meds. I hope, I can cut back soon. Hate taking so much carp.

Aloe vera--do you know how hard it is to find anything without aloe in it--from soaps to lotions to womens razors? It is making me nuts!!!

I'm allergic to grass and to a couple of medications.

Just a couple of medications, so feel lucky that way.

Strawberries - in large amounts, like 2 or 3 times a day. In small amounts, it's fine.

Shell fish and sulpha drugs

Not really. Red licorice makes my nose tickle/itch. Other than that, can't think of a thing. I think my brother got all the allergies for all we kids, poor guy.

I do react badly to chigger bites, does that count? lol

Flamey, sounds like chiggers like skinny legs. LOL

Pollen(s) and bees! I can tolerate the pollen allergies, but almost died 20+ years ago after a bee sting.

I was told I was allergic to aspirin when I was a child. I don't think it's true but I don't take aspirin just in case.

Shellfish and penicillin/amoxicillin.

nope, not a thing. I do know a couple people who developed allergies well into their adult years.....in their 40's.

Yes, and Jasdip, my allergies have been increasing . . . and I'm well past my 40s!

Aloe seems like such an unusual thing to be allergic to, Doxiemom!

I have a cat allergy, but I've always had cats. Black cats don't bother me; ditto orange. Light grey tabbies are the major allergen, so I haven't had one of those in a while.

I'm allergic to either horses or hay. I never figured out which (or maybe it's both), because one is never without the other.

Foods: anything containing solanine (tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, POTATOES, okra, artichokes); a protein in cow's milk; and I feel like a new person since recently giving up peanuts and grapefruit.

Drugs: sulfa, Naproxyn (Naprosyn), anything that stimulates adrenalin (like Novocaine).

Supplements: MSM

Didn't have one allergy as a young child or woman. However, with age, things have changed, darnit. :(

Can't really name any one thing, but I can tell you I do react to things like pollen now. I also think I've become sensitive to my cat, but this is ok..she's my little 15 year old plus soulmate. :)

I'm allergic to something in the spring (gives me a runny nose) and also to a certain antibiotic.

Penicillin and any of the cillin's!

I was in the hospital for kidney stones one time and they gave me an antibiotic....knowing I was allergic to cillins. Soon I was reacting, itchy armpits (weird huh?). Called the nurse, she said there wasn't any cillin in this...I told her that it had better be checked out with the pharmacy, as there was something that was causing the reaction. Soon she came back and did admit there was a small amount in there. I told her I knew that (I told her nicely), she just had to find it out! LOL

I developed an allergy to penicillin when I was in my 20's. I'm very careful to make sure I don't ever have any again!
Sandy, I had the nurse call the pharmacy two times while I was in the hospital this last time to make sure there was no penicillin in what I was taking. :o)

Penicillin, sulfa drugs, Keflex, cantaloupe, something blooming or seeding right now and my newest, latest allergy--Cottonelle toilet paper. It would be TMI to tell you have I discovered that one!

Oh, I forgot the animal kingdom. I am quite allergic to most animals. Can't have cats, nor most dogs. Bichon Friese and Maltese seem to be ok.

Not a thing!

I am allergic to house dust, molds, mildew and some pollens. This doesn't mean my house is dust free by any means.

For the people with animal allergies. About a year ago there was a survey about people who are allergic to their pets. The majority response was that people will put up with their allergies, rather than part with their pets.

That's so refreshing......easy for me to say, since I have no allergies! But so many animals up for adoption, or being given away on Freecycle all have the same excuse that kids or adults allergic to them. Seems to be an easy "out" of having the responsibility of pet ownership.

Men!

Poison Ivy. When I get it, I usually have to take steroids to get rid of it, or it drives me crazzzzzzzzzzzy. I've got it already. One of my bluebird boxes is in a weedy/grassy area. I checked out the boxes a week ago. And 3 days ago I started itching. Not thinking that the PI was out already, I scratched it. I bought some Benedryl this morning and am going to try that before I call the Dr.

I'm being treated by an allergist.

When I went in to be tested to see what I'm allergic to, they tested something like 60 different allergens (DC is bad, it's at the convergence of three allergy zones, South, Northeast, and Great Plains).

Of those 60 items, the only two I showed NO reaction to at all?

Dogs and Cats. THANK GOD. I don't know what I'd do were I allergic to dogs or cats.
