What are you allergic to?

[Weetomuncher]

I found out that even the mighty Gail, President of the Lebians is allergic to something (apples) and I was wondering what you guys are allergic to.

I've got an allergy to chicken and also to household dust (I'm asthmatic) as well as a lot of scented things. Oh and a bit of hay fever.

[the4thpip]

Household dust, office dust (moldy files once gave me a fever!), cats, the beeswax they use to keep gunny bears and stuff like that from sticking together, fabric softener.

[traxler]

Lots of detergents, soaps and other cleaning products.
Tommy Hilfirigger.

[Lubichev]

I'm allergic to violence. I break out in blood.

[Sharpandpointies]

I used to be allergic to pretty much everything in my dairy consuming days (that's what the allergist said when he looked at my arm - 'hmmm, looks like you're allergic to pretty much everything').

Then I quit dairy. Nothing, now. At least no reactions.

[Ogdred]

Tide laundry detergent. Dust, mold. The usual.

[titanfan]

My allergy tests returned more positives than negatives as well. I always carry an anti-histamine with me, just in case. My strongest allergic reactions are to: cats and animals that lick themselves (it's the saliva), dust, mold, and leaves. Growing up, I was allergic to seafood, but I grew out of it as an adult. (I found this out because I once accidently ate seafood and was like "OMG, take me to a hospital!" but then I had no allergic reaction and have been fine since...)

Penicillin and Micheal Turner covers.

[Patient Boy]

My doctor diagnosed me as being allergic to sulphur when I was younger (I was told I broke out in rashes and stuff), but apparently I no longer am. I found this out when I reported sick while I was in the army, and was told by the camp's medical officer that the anti-malaria pills we all had to take contained sulphur. He recommended taking the alternative malaria pill for the G6PD deficient but since I hadn't experienced any side effects I just continued taking the regular ones.

I have no idea whether I'm still allergic to anything now.

[PaladinZero]

Pet hair. Hate going to houses with indoor pets.

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

I was pretty allergic to pollen (got a fever & everything one spring), but that seems to have gone away by now. Mostly now, it's just household dust.

[Buzz Dixon]

A paycheck, apparently...

[Night Swordsman]

I am Italian,my parents are Italian chefs who owned their own resturant.

And i'm allergic to Garlic.
This,plus my enjoyment of wearing black,pale skin,has led to a endless stream of vampire jokes at my expense from my friends,family and co-workers for the last 20 or so years.

Garlic...ick.

[heystacy]

Dust & pollen ususally have me running for Clariton. My Allergies are seasonal, so when the temperature changes, I have at least a week of feeling bad.

[stealthwise]

Apples? APPLES?

Lame, Gail, really lame. Why couldn't you be allergic to something cool, like alligator scales? Or cosmic space dust? What kind of weakness is an apple? That's like being vulnerable to wood... or the colour yellow.

[titanfan]

Pet hair. Hate going to houses with indoor pets.

Look at it this way. It's like having a superpower.

(Me and friends entering a room)

Me: <sniffle> There's a hidden animal in this room.

Friend: Really? How do you know?

Me: <ah-choo! scratch, scratch> I just do!

<Cat crawls out from under the bed>

Me: Hah! I told you!

[Azrael52]

I'm allergic to different soaps, lotions, etc. I've always had really sensitive skin.

I'm also allergic to Lester, but whatcha gonna do, right?

My dad always said he was allergic to pain...it makes him hurt. ;)

[sk716]

Dust.
Pollen.
Mold spores.
Cheap laundry detergents.
Some pesticides.
Bee stings.
Comet Cleanser.
Cat litter.
Base metals.

No food or animal allergies though.

[Trulyures]

I'm allergic to cats
AND jerks ;)

[Chevan]

Almost all antibiotics.

[Trulyures]

Almost all antibiotics.
that stinks..... How are you suppose to get better?

[DuelaDent]

cat & dog hair and hay

[Chevan]

that stinks..... How are you suppose to get better?

I stick it out, usually. There are two types that I can take, but they're somewhat expensive so I need to be really sick before I'll go to the doctor.

[WhiteRose]

Tetra-minocylene.

Yes, the award for the most obscure allergy goes to me.

[sk716]

So obscure it can't even be Googled!

[WhiteRose]

So obscure it can't even be Googled!

Huzzah! I win!

It's a chemical in a certain type of face wash. I THINK I've spelt it right.

[Lester C.]

I'm alelergic to cats and ferrets. I'm also allergic to Azrael 52, but whatcha gonna do, right?

[Cam63]

Hard work.

....and LOL at Lubichev's reply.

[heystacy]

Apples? APPLES?

Lame, Gail, really lame. Why couldn't you be allergic to something cool, like alligator scales? Or cosmic space dust? What kind of weakness is an apple? That's like being vulnerable to wood... or the colour yellow.


No apple pies for her. You miss out Gail. Apple pies (when cooed right) are the bomb!!!!

[Cam63]

I'm not allergic, but I can't stand spicy food.

[Weetomuncher]

I don't know which is more tragic, the fact Gail can't eat apple pies or the fact that Cam doesn't like spicy food!

You haven't lived if you haven't ordered a Lamb Tikka Mekhani Masala! :(

[Sharpandpointies]

Huzzah! I win!

Try Tetra-minocycline.

:)

[Dark Galaxy]

Cantaloupe and Carrots.
I can still eat them, but they make my tounge and gums swell up and throb. Plus, they give me terrible heartburn. But sometimes with a ripe and juicy cantaloupe, it's worth it.


Hay Fever.
When I was a kid it was so bad my eyes would swell shut. But luckily it doesn't get that severe anymore. It's too bad, cause boy would that be sexy.

[stealthwise]

I lied, I'm actually allergic to midget tears.

[Cam63]

I don't know which is more tragic, the fact Gail can't eat apple pies or the fact that Cam doesn't like spicy food!

You haven't lived if you haven't ordered a Lamb Tikka Mekhani Masala! :(

I don't miss what I can't eat so it's not tragic to me.

[heystacy]

I'm not allergic, but I can't stand spicy food.


I just made some spicy gumbo. i guess i can't invite you to have a bowl Cam. Sorry.

[Cam63]

You ate Columbo !?

Bastard !

[WhiteRose]

Try Tetra-minocycline.

:)

Eh, either way. I don't think of it as an allergy, moreso as a superpower. It's rare and I can garrantee it probably won't be useful in the long run. Like many silly superpowers.

[1961]

Penicillin and Micheal Turner covers.
Jeez were we seperated at birth or something!! Me too

[Gail Simone]

Apples and beef. Those are the bad ones.

Gail

[Dark Galaxy]

Oh yeah, and Gail. I'm super allergic to Gail.

[Shiloh]

Political threads on internet forums.

Oh, yeah, and fire ants.

[Arrjay]

Wow.

Okay.

Peanuts.
Oranges.
Dust mite.
Cats.
Dogs.
Horses.
Pollen.
Varied grasses.

[Expletive Deleted]

Peanuts.
Dust mite.
Pollen.
Varied grasses.
Same here, plus . . .

All other nuts.
Beans (including soy).
Peas.
Chicken (mildly).
Pet dander (mildly).
Bee stings.

And a few other environmental things. Basically if it's green and it grows, I'm allergic to some part of it.

[public defender]

Various environmental things...dust mites, molds, pollens, etc.

Asprin.

Foods are the worst, though. In addition to being lactose intolerant, I also have celiac disease, which means I can't digest wheat/gluten products. So breads, pastas, and anything else that uses wheat or wheat products is out. Luckily, I'm a decent cook, and have found adequate substitutes.

Eggs, too. But just the whites, which is weird, right?

Almonds.

[Cam63]

My sister has a terrible skin reaction to wool and can't tolerate smog.

So, she's had to stop wearing exhaust fume sweaters and breathing around sheep.

[heystacy]

You ate Columbo !?

Bastard !


He was gooood!!!!!! None for you still.

[Cam63]

I reckon he'd be a little gamey by now.

I loved him in The Great Race.

[Night Swordsman]

I liked him in Vibes.

That movie was SO bad it was good.

[heystacy]

I reckon he'd be a little gamey by now.

I loved him in The Great Race.


Well he's the Great Taste now. ;) Gumbo's even better the day after.

[Cam63]

Please see he has a good home.

[Cam63]

Falky woulda liked that.

[MPagar]

Prolongued exposure to cats gives me the sneezies, and certain laundry products make me itch as hell. Otherwise, I'm quite fortunate in this department. My ssiter's allergic to beer, which she found out in a not-so-great manner after a night of drinking.
