What are you allergic to?

    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!

    I get queasy if I eat raw tomato, that's about it.

    Shellfish. Eating it could kill me. If I come into contact with it I do indeed look like poor Fr Bigley.

    Dust and anything that might trigger asthma.

    Spearmint Polo mints. Not a word of a lie. Even one would give me a wicked bad sore throat for a week.

    Oh, and Penicillin

    Nothing I can think of, although eating mayonnaise too often gives me mouth ulcers.

    OH is allergic to penicillin, and my son recently told everyone in school he was allergic to cheese (he just doesn't like it) which must have caused a panic as the teacher confiscated lunches to prevent anything happening.

    A type of antibiotic called klacid.

    An antibiotic called Clorum . Double up with stomach pains . Also Difiene and Tylex , beginning to think it's anything with traces of codiene in them to be honest.

    Grass pollen, and recently discovered that I'm now allergic to peanuts and hazelnuts, which is a real pisser because they're my two favourite nuts. They won't kill me, but I'll be pretty uncomfortable for a while until the swelling in my hands goes down and the feeling returns to my face. :(

    Wasps. I once collapsed four hours after a sting, and lay barely- conscious on the sofa for an hour, unable to move. Serious anaphylactic shock. I always carry an adrenaline spike now, just in case.
    Also menthol makes my head swim in a groggy fashion.

    Facebook relationships.

    I've never found anything I'm allergic to but I do get a fit of sneezing after eating dairy milk chocolate.

    Allergic to Asprin
    My face swells up, and I'm short of breath.

    Allergic to latex.
    Depends where the latex has come in contact, more just irritating I guess.

    Allergic to something in beer (have no idea what)
    Gives me hives, makes me vomit and gives me diahorria.

    Nice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    Oh and a painkiller called zydol. Makes me pass out, and nauseous for days after. Voilently ill, and gives me black eyes for a few hours after taking it.

    Jesus! Imagine taking an asprin to cure your head after too many beers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,008 ✭✭✭not yet


    Nuts and pikeys mostly..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 738 ✭✭✭scrimshanker


    Dust, pollen, moulds, anything irritating basically. Reacted to salt water during an allergy test. Atopy, they tell me.

    Like yourself developed a nut and coconut allergy just over a year ago. Serious stuff.

    Also am allergic to penicillin, codeine, pollen,dust mites, aloe vera, chlorine, most washing powders, seaseme and poppy seeds, iodine so probably shellfish but as a veggie I don't know. I can't really eat fruit either as it gives me really bad cramps and diahorrea.

    Basically my body seems to react to new things all the time and is probably gonna get to a point where am allergic to life!

    I broke out in an all over rash after being given penicillin as a toddler. My mother was told to make sure I never had it again, as it could be fatal. It sounds a bit dramatic to me, but I never chanced it since ;)
