What are you allergic to?

fussyonion · 2015-06-27 21:48:35

What are you allergic to? And what happens if you come into contact with it? Does your face blow up like Father Bigley? Do you grow a third eye? I'm lucky that I'm not allergic to anything, though bananas make my gums itch a bit. Enlighten us!

A spice in Indian food, anaphylaxis.. Proper ambulance job, first time it happened I went into heart failure. Was in hospital for 2 nights. I was lucky the swelling stopped at my lips and tongue, it took 25 mins for the ambulance to get to me. I would have suffocated. I didn't know anything til I came round for about 20 mins in casualty. Second time I made curry at home, just the mcdonalds tub, my eyes and lips swelled up and my heart was racing for about 3 hours.. Didn't know how/when to use the epi pen..

Paracetamol, makes me faint and sick .

Plaster adhesive.. Gives me a rash.

Strawberries.. I break out in hives.. Fook the itch.
Dairy gives me horrible tummy pain.
That's about it...
