This was something I thought of out of the blue, basically for anyone who likes to hang out in the forums. I wanted to go for something new for everyone and I looked through all the other topics in the open discussion to check if someone else had already chosen the same thing. So, since I started this, I guess I should say something, right?
I don't have a lot of allergies. I am allergic to penicillin. I heard that was a genetic allergy; my great-grandma was also allergic to that stuff. Also, I think my skin is allergic to silver because I can't wear watches with silver behind the face or on the buckle. My skin turns red and eventually it will crack from the reaction.

I have hay fever, and it gets pretty bad when I'm in grassy fields or anything like that but otherwise it's not so bad. But my skin is oddly reactive...it takes a really long time for the marks from cuts or scrapes to fade and I always get these horrid red marks from band-aids and medical tape that sometimes leave scars, so I wonder if I'm allergic to the adhesive...

Most grass and tree pollens...but the main thing I'm allergic to is shellfish (allergic as in deathly allergic).

My doctor did a blood test and told me what the results meant. Very helpful and when I found out how deadly shellfish was for me, I got prescribed an EpiPen.

I think they're more seasonal than anything i.e. related to pollens and dust suspended in the air, however, sometimes I get the suspiscion that certain foods don't go well with my system. Might be wrong but I still have that doubt.

I have that too, some foods just don't sit well with me. I'm lactose intolerant, but it's odd that cheese, chocolate, yogurt and other common dairy products won't make me feel sick, but really rich desserts with cream and such will make me feel horrible. Pesto and apples also for whatever reason make me feel really ill :/

I've got seasonal allergies. They're pretty mild and just annoying for the most part. I just need over-the-counter medicine to stop the sneezing and clear the stuffy nose.
Aribelle--I've got the same sort of deal with milk, too, but just as I grew into it, I'm slowly growing out of it. My doctor told me that yogurt and cheese (things that have had their composition rearranged) and things with relatively little dairy in them tend to be okay for milder cases.

mmmm im not alergic to to many things, except medication in general XD there are lots of antibiotics i can't take and im alergic to paracetimol (makes me through up, have a fever makes the headache its trying to cure 100x worse) and any medication im not alergic to nearly always gives me some kind of annoying side effect. In general I never take medicine unless im dieing, i let my body sort itself out, the amount of times ive had infections and not got antibiotics XD lulz
apart from that i used to have a bad allergy to milk but not anymore, now i just hate it

I didn't think I was allergic to anything until I ate catfish for the first time...it's a good thing I wasn't deathly allergic, otherwise I would've been in trouble XD So far that's all I know of, but I haven't gotten a blood test by a doctor or anything.

Dogs' fur, but I guess I got rid of it. When I was younger I slept with my dog in the one bed XD But when he playfully bites me, the skin gets swollen.
I think I'm allergic to milk as well (no tests for it though), because I used to have strong stomach pains after eating cereals and now, when I drink too much, I got nausea and a lot of worse symptoms... I like milk : x

You're not allergic. This is called lactose intolerance. Basically you're lacking the enzyme to break down the lactose in milk so it's being broken down by the bacterial flora in your intestine/colon which produces the nausea/gas/bloating/smelly farts

I have allergic rhinitis and it's really annoying. It can be seasonal(hay fever), but for me it can occur at any time of the year. I figured out that the allergic reaction might be from dust, but I'm starting to think that I'm allergic to my cat and that's why my rhinitis has been much more frequent after I bought him. Apparently the cause for this kind of "cat allergy" is some kind of glycoprotein.
