Anybody allergic to eggs?

17 years ago

Do you get allergies as you get older? I am not a big egg eater, never was, but for the past year or so, anytime i eat eggs, as in mayo or something like that, it gives me the runs and rash on my chest! I do take some meds, but am just wondering if you just get allergies when you get older!?

Yes, Deb, you can develope allergies any time in your life. I am allergic to many foods, found by blood tests about 23 years ago. Egg yolks is one of them. My biggest reaction has been weight gain, but there are a few foods I can not eat, mostly garlic. If you are having those reactions, I would suggest talking with your dr about it, and maybe go so far as to eliminate those things from your diet. I was told to eliminate the foods on my list for three months, then slowly re-introduce them to my diet and watch for reaction. Garlic gives me hives from the chest up. IF it's at the bottom of a long list of ingredients, I can get away with it, but don't dare walk into an Italian restaraunt.

So far, knock on wood, I'm only allergic to sulfa drugs. I would hate to develop allergies to eggs (we have chickens), strawberries (I can eat my weight in them), avocados (ditto), or seafood (I lovelovelove shrimp and crab). I have no seasonal allergies but my grandson does and I feel soooo sorry for him. I have read that some people become more sensitive to things as they get older. I have a friend that cannot eat mayo for the same reasons you give, but she can eat eggs, must be a processing thing for her.

Yo Lou..I've had one in the ground for 20+ years here in Merritt Island. Other trees have grown up and over it (very crowded yard) so only about 1/3 of it is in the sun but I get plenty of fruit from that portion. Should be fine growing in Floral City. Ned

Anybody selling eggs and other such stuff?

Hi Tim, I liked your posting, you sound like an all or nothing kind of guy! One thing that I sell at the market, that no one here has mentioned (that I saw), is goat milk soap. Mine was made from a glycerin base that I bought, but then added my own goat's milk to it as well as herbs that I grew from my garden. They were a pretty big seller, and I sold the large bars for 4.00 ea. Most days, I made more money from soap than produce! I also had pictures of my goats with a blurb about how it is great for your skin because of the high fat content in the milk, and no detergents. As far as the egg question goes, yeah, you won't get rich on the sales, but they do sell and people up here will pay 2-2.50 doz. for them. This year I will charge 2.50 because the grain is now about 10$ per 50# bag!! You do need to like chickens, which you do, so you will get enjoyment from them and have the fresh eggs for yourself and your fiancee as well. IN NH, if we sell them as "not sized", we don't have to grade them, but we do need to make sure that they are kept refrigerated until they are sold. We just can't say that they're grade A or charge different prices for different sizes. It sounds like you are going to be the hit of the market this year. If you're up against grizzly old men with dirty pick ups full of yams and oversized zuchini's, all you need to do is have a table with a decent selection of produce and a few unique things, they'll be flocking to your booth!! Maybe your fiancee can make some soaps or some beaded jewelry as something different. Will she want to go with you to the market to sell??

I think you can feed your worms once a week without any problems. Just try not to feed them too much at a time in case it heats up. Another thing to think about is harvesting. You might have to have your face over the pile of castings for a number of hours at a time. Good luck, Marshall

Yes, it is all bark really. The only other bird I thought could be possible was a Carolina Wren but I don't think so. We moved the house today after much though. We were at a loss what to do. The house has broken wood on the bottom, don't know how this happened but it was leaning where it was attached to the pole. I'm afraid it would not have made it safely with the birds inside. So, we made the decision to move the house gently to an area where it will have support, about 10-12 feet directly behind the pole, and pray. We have not gone out there today hoping that with piece and quite momma will not mind the move and brave coming back. We had no clue what else to do and felt this was the safest thing to give them a chance. At first I thought it was kind of silly that this bird was bring mulch into the house until I checked again and noticed the 6 eggs. Hopefully I'll get some pictures.

Yes, adults (and children) can develop food allergies at any time.

As far as I know I am not allergic to foods. I find that chemicals bother me more than they used to. Perfumes burn my eyes and I taste/smell the chemical, not the pleasant smell I am suppose to smell. I am allergic to sulfur also and morphine. I thought I was allergic to iodine, but someone told me what happens to me is a side effect not an allergy. When I had my home professionally cleaned my nose dripped for 3 weeks because of the ammonia, I am guessing. Now I just get my floors done.

I developed allergies at the age of 35,out of the blue.

Am deathly allergic to eggs,yolks AND whites,as well as many many others,food ,environmental and drugs.

The thing that really gets me regarding allergies,is the ppl that claim to be allergic,but have never had a test whatsoever.....

Not eggs, just milk products. Take a pill a day for that. Can you take a flu shot? They always ask me if I am allergic to eggs before I get one.

"Not eggs, just milk products. Take a pill a day for that."

What kind of pill can you take for a milk allergy? I was aware that there are medications for lactose intolerance but not for a true milk allergy. Can you fill me in?
Marilyn Sue

Well, it is for lactose intolerance. Milk, ice cream, yogurt and such. I get it at Walmart. I never used to have it. I love milk and now can drink it.

No allergies that I know of. I don't eat eggs unless they are in tuna or potato salad, and I cook with them, but I probably don't eat one but every 4 or 5 years and then I have to have a bite of meat and toast or biscuit to get it down.

No,I cannot have flu shots at all.

There is a MAJOR difference between an allergic and an intolerance too,by the way.

I take specific allergy medications daily,all year round for allergies,as well as extras when I have had something I shouldnt have,or the environment is heavier than normal

There are even allergy meds that I am allergic to.
