I'm allergic to cats. :eek4:

(I've been sent every type of meme about this, seriously don't bother!)

Like this one:

:dry:


Cats and dogs make me sneeze. When I was in France I stayed with a family who had two cats that liked to sleep in my bed so I kept my friend up all night sneezing! I also sometimes get a bit wheezy with dogs.

Allergies to medication must be annoying when it comes to being ill. I have actually found some creams and medicines that have some sort of nuts in them which means I can't take them. Odd!

Haha that must be annoying for you then! Yeah I don't like being allergic to penicillin because they give me this other medicine that makes me feel more ill than better because it smells vile! :tongue:
I'm pretty sure I have a mild dust allergy, as in I always have a cold. Also fun fun fun, I'm a member of da hayfever club

Hay fever.

There's a slight possibility that it may be getting better though. Hope dies last.

I LOVEEEE DOGS! I would die if I were allergic to them! pun not intended! :K:
Ive recently found out im allergic to eggs, Im having further tests because ive still been having reactions despite cutting egg out of my diet. They also said its very rare to develop egg allergy as an adult without having other allergies, so will have to wait and see with that.

My main issue is that I adore eggs! And I didnt realise just how much food has egg in it! Im struggling to adapt my diet big time

Ive known about my nickel allergy for a few years, so difficult to find nickel free watches haha!

I'm allergic to duck eggs, but not hens' eggs (aka normal eggs) for some reason.

Last time I ate a duck egg, I ended up in A&E :frown:

Very!:frown: The weather really didn't help. I was forced to wear trousers and not shave for those 3 weeks. Urgh.

I had a bit of an odd reaction to a watch I used to wear. (my skin would just peel. There was no rash or anything) I was told to either wear a sweat band underneath or coat the back of the watch with clear nail varnish.

*high five* I'm also a hayfeverer. I have a cold all the time too but that's down to my rhinitis.

It's hard to judge with hayfever because every year is different. I thought this year was worse than ever!

My grandparent have a dog and I'm usually okay with her as long as I have taken my hay fever tablet - I just sometimes get a bit sneezy and get a rash if I rub her too much, depending on where she has been. It's usually really hairy dogs that make me wheeze.

It is surprising how many foods have egg in. Finding a pre-packed sandwich without mayo in always proves a challenge. Some ice creams have egg in (although I've never had a problem) and thankfully I am able to eat biscuits and cakes with egg in :smile:. However I'm jealous of people who can eat meringues. I've had an egg free one and they're so nice! Also macaroons. Oh man!!!

I've never actually eaten an egg on its own since I was a baby. I think they look a bit minging but that's probably just me with my allergy!

I've always wondered if there was a difference. I might look in to trying duck eggs because in allergic to chickens eggs.

My list of allergies is quite extensive: almonds, peanuts, lemon, cauliflower, some other really difficult scientific terms for wild grass or something of the sort and the worst of them all is WHEAT!

I need to read every single label before I pick up something at the store. It's frustrating really, everything from soya sauce to muffins has wheat and life cannot get any more miserable than that! Plus anti-histamines make me a little cuckoo in the head. Is there any one who feels like their anti-histamines affects them physically and mentally?

You get a rash if you rub her too much. Depending on where she has been. :toofunny:

(Sorry, I'm easily amused. :tongue:)
I'm allergic to peanuts and cats, so everytime I go to my best friend's house I have to bring some sort of allergy medicine with me because she has 4 cats and they leave their hairs EVERYWHERE, it's a nightmare especially if I'm sleeping over.
And I used to be allergic to eggs but that disappeared as I grew up which was weird!

My cousin is allergic to oranges and orange juices. She was devastated when she found out because orange juice was always her favourite!

I feel sorry for her, she can't enjoy the goodness that is Calippo
:eek:
