Do you suffer from any allergies?

The only allergy i have is to the perfume in detergent.. Oh I itch to I bleed with that stuff

I have no allergies. Poison ivy doesn't bother me either.

none that I'm aware of

I am allergic to to cats

Firstly I agree with Atzilut. I never suffered from allergies as a child. Now I sneeze constantly in the early spring and late fall ... mold spores suck.

None of my allergies are at all interesting. The only one that is significant is cigarette smoke. It prevents me from breathing through my nose, and my eyes water a lot. I have run across a few perfumes/fragrances in my life that I have induced physical effects, but it might have been psychosomatic. I don't think I'm even allergic to poison ivy, but I'm not going to test it. When I was very young I was allergic to strawberries, but that stopped before my memory.

Sometimes walnut oil, sometimes smoke or pollen or pet hair.

I never had allergies growing up. Recently I've found I'll get stuffy during "pollen season" which sucks because I hike and camp a great deal. I deal with it as best I can - I also stay away from taking medicine so I don't like to pop pills to "fix" it.

I use a nasal spray, and this seems to keep me normal and happy. I had an allergic reaction to IVP dye (a X-Ray contrasting agent) once (while getting an X-ray) and I went into anaphylactic shock (they injected it into my veins). That was pretty exciting! (really, it's not a bad memory at all). *** you may have wanted to separate nasal congestion from asthma (Respiratory is perhaps too general - that is asthma is this horrible thing but I don't have it)

I had asthma as a kid, and was very sensitive to fur, pollen, dust, etc. I haven't had an asthma attack in years, though. When I was really little, I was allergic to milk, wheat, and eggs, and severely allergic to many nuts (as in, I went into anaphylactic shock after eating a teaspoon of peanut butter when I was 2) but I gradually overcame most of those. Now all I am allergic to is some nuts, including cashews and peanuts.

allergyless and fancyfree. I had pollen allergies a bit for several years but since I started spending a lot less time in the city they went away.

that i know of

I'm hyper-sensitive (I am not sure I am medically 'allergic') to all sorts of stuff. I have really sensitive skin and it reacts poorly to lots of stuff. I checked 'other' skin allergies because while I am not allergic to cats (or any animal I know of), I am quite allergic to cat snot if it's smeared on my skin -- and one of my cats is quite fond of wiping his nose on people. :) No food allergies that I know of. Asthmatic, triggered by dust, pollen, mould, smoke... And adrenaline.

This spring, my allergies are worse than they have ever been before!

I may be picking up pollen allergies as I get older; I'm still uncertain enough to be in denial about it. I said I have a food allergy, but it's not a classical anaphylactic reaction, it's just that every time I've ever eaten any significant amount of green peas I've thrown up a little later. (Good range of answers!) *** I actually tested poison ivy when I was younger--really crushed a leaf and rubbed it on my arm--and it had absolutely no effect.

I have adult-onset asthma which can be a bummer. Animal dander and smoke can aggravate my asthma. However, I love my cat too much to give her up.

I've a recent allergy to some pollen, but not really severe. Also, I've a "mental" allergy to some kind of personalities.

According to every test I've taken, I have no allergies. But stuff in the air (be it pollen, dust, or whatever) gives me fits anyway.

My response was, NYAAH! I would qualify it to be, I have not run across anything yet that I am allergic to (but a sudden influx of photons causes me to sneeze.. maybe a mild allergy to light).

I am allergic to pet dander, pet fur, dust, smoke, perfume, pollen, you name it and it makes me sneeze and my eyes to water. This does not keep me from owning a cat, however. I also have skin allergies to soaps, shampoos, etc. There's no listing for poison ivy/oak/sumac, which some people are extremely allergic to (I am not one of them). I've had all my allergies all my life, although the skin ones have let up since I have gotten older, but the sneezy ones have gotten worse, especially this spring. They knock me flat on my ass a lot of the time, so I don't feel like doing anything except becoming one with the couch. This sucks, btw.

I have an allergy to mold. It could be considered severe since I become violently ill when presented with a large quantity of mold spores in the air. I have in the past been forced to leave work due to an increase in the mold count. This didn't start until college, when I would spend large amounts of time in sealed climate controlled buildings. Also I have a mild allergy to most perfumes and fragrances.

Well, doctors say I am allergic to dust and pollen, but I have only ever had symptomes once and never again.... I had allergic reactions to pineapple a while back but that also seems to have gone away... : )

Real Gold does a number on my skin. Sometimes I get a rash from seafood but only if it's got a certain preservative that they sometimes use to keep it from smelling "fishy".

I have a lot of sneezy, stuffy nose type allergies. I believe they are the cause of my very frequent headaches. If that is the case, they have definitely affected the quality of my life. I am also highly allergic to shellfish and bee stings (without the epipen - would probably kill me. Maybe even with it, who knows? "They" say the reactions get worse each time.)

my allergies - to dust and pollen of all types - have existed since i was a kid. they used to be really, really bad. i underwent treatment that consisted of several shots a week for about 4 years (i don't know what they were). now my allergies are just bad. i have learned to just deal. i also have a strange little allergy to some orange foods (carrots and cantelope, but not oranges) wherein my mouth gets itchy & lumpy if i eat them

Missed medical allergies. I'm somewhat allergic to certain trees and grasses in the Fall.

I. hate. adult. onset. allergies.

Resy: Get a grip luv, it's just a survey.

Milk. And just about everything respiratory. Ick. They all bother my eyes too. Eye-drop makers must love me :)

Pollen, but not much. And erythromycin, when I was little...

my resperatory allergies seem to be related as much to my sense of self-esteem as to what's in the air; lately they've been pretty mild.

I, too, am not allergic to poison ivy; I also don't react as much to mosquito bites (though NH skeeters'll still raise a welt).

...interesting question. I've heard that food allergies change every seven years; however, when I was a child everytime we had stuffed green peppers for dinner, I got the 24 hour flu! I have such an aversion to green peppers I just tell people I'm allergic to them. Where I live they say everyone gets allergies if they stay long enough! I was recently diagnosed with adult-onset asthma -- which can be triggered by allergies. I am also very allergic to sulfa medications and penicillian (I try never to get sick!) I go for allergy testing on Monday ... I'll let you know the results (because I KNOW HOW INTERESTING OTHER PEOPLE'S ILLNESSES CAN BE ... hahaha ... just ask Uncle Albert about that last gall bladder attack!). ***Atzilut -- grip gotten! My allergist told me I shouldn't plan for any small, furry creatures in my future as I am allergic to dogs and cats. I am also allergic to Mulberry trees, of which there are MANY in my area. Oh well. I'm with you though ... I.hate.adult.onset.allergies ... add adult.onset.asthma to the list!

This year was the worst allergy season ever. My God. My nose ran 24 hours a day and I sneezed 2-300 times a day for over two months (late March to mid-June). Usually when I take an over the counter med it's like I don't even have an allergy.

I am actually allergic to fresh cut grass. If I get around someone cutting grass, my eyes get itchy, red, and swell up. I have had my eyes swollen shut before, when my allergy first flared up and I didn't know what was happening or why. I was about 12 or 13, I am 26 now and it still happens if I get around someone cutting grass. I also used to be allergic to dust when I was little, I went around sneezing all the time it was awful.

Have you seen those Claritin ads with the person floating over a field of hay with a BIG smile on his face? That's me, baby!

When I was a kid... I could catch poison ivy if I had a window open.. my doctor always told me that people must be burning brush and I was catching it through the air... I would get it so bad that I'd be out of school for a week.. my eyes would swell shut.. I'd look like a little pig. I haven't gotten poison ivy since I was a kid though. I have terrible allergies to pollen... I also have asthma and smoke.. so you very rarely catch me breathing normally. Recently I found out that I'm allergic to Johnson and Johnson Baby Lotion.. I can use generic.. but the brand name breaks me out.

I love to sneeze... is that strange? :) clears me right up... practically orgasmic...

they: TMI... then again.. I am jealous, sneezing is very painful for me.

reality.. what is TMI? did I miss something?

they: Too Much Information...

Zip, zero and none. Nyaah! ;)

Also respiratory: dust (which is apparently extremely common) and systemic: sulfa drugs. Nothing serious or life-threatening, though.

none
