Allergies...

[scrapmonkey]

I am very allergic to dust (primarily wood dust) and dust mites (when I had my "scratch" test, my arm blew up from those two so badly they had to test some of the others again). Also cats (but not dogs) and birch trees (but not birch beer, lol).

I also have a bad, but non-allergic, reaction to aspirin, ibuprofen and other related analgesics (except acetaminophen), and caffeine (and yes this includes chocolate ). So don't get me within a mile of Excedrin. Those all put my stomach in pain or agony depending on how much I've had...

Funny story, when my DH and I were engaged and living together, he did not believe that I was truly allergic to dust (he's not allergic to anything), he thought I was just lazy about housework. We got into an argument about it and he started dusting the fan blades in anger. Next thing he knows, I'm sneezing, wheezing, itching, tearing, and my eyes are red and puffy. He felt so bad about it. From that point on, he does the dusting when he knows I'm going to be out of the house for a while and also warns me.

Codeine-- makes me hyperactive (so not true allergy) but if I have any meds with codeine in it Hydrocodone, oxycodone etc, I need a sleeping pill along with it or I cant sleep.

Latex-- dermatitis

Molasses-- short of breath

and Cat dander but only if it gets in my eyes. I own a cat but I just cant touch my eyes after petting him.

I'm allergic to the general things...

cats (even touching the dang freezer--she lives in teh garage) will cause me to break out in hives

but the one that makes my hubby crazy is lettuce and celery I break out in a rash all around my mouth when I eat certain types of lettuce or more than a plate full

They even tested 2x's to make sure...cuz those are odd ones.

youngest dd has inherited my allergy problems, those hers for now are the usual culprits, molds, grasses, weeds, trees etc.
