I am pretty allergic to penicillin 
It's annoying as penicillin is the remedy to a lot of things

That means you can't have sesame snaps 
Or Chinese food, or Thai, or anything like that!! Burger buns. Any biscuits/cakes from M&S. Any wraps or things like that from Starbucks/Costa etc! SUCH A PAIN!
Edit: Also can't eat Indian food normally because they often use cashew paste to thicken their sauces! So, getting a takeaway with me is always fun

Everything. :'(
Tree pollen, cats, bee stings, all nuts (particularly pistachio and cashew, which the allergy specialist said I had the worst reaction to he had ever seen when I was tested), strawberries, sesame, paprika, avocado, courgette... and a load of other random things that will take too long to list.
Nuts are the worst one. Nuts will cause my throat to swell up so that I can't breathe within under a minute (from experience). The other food allergies, at the moment, will make my mouse tingle/swell but I can control them... but I obviously am not going to test it because with more exposure, the worse they get. I carry an epipen.
I am a JOY to feed. My allergies mean I can't eat so many things, largely because of the sesame allergy!

for your other allergies...YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
The avocado one I've got from my Mum. Apparently, the courgette and paprika allergies are related to that one, and it is also related to allergies to latex, papaya and other things that I haven't got yet, but my mum and brother have developed!

Yes, there are two different types of avocado allergies. The one related to Latex and other things, and then just a simple avocado one. I have the latter one.
It's really weird, since everyone in my family is basically addicted to Avocados, and they are constantly eating them. I am very lucky though that I am not allergic to other things. Except sometimes suffering from hayfever...
Fabric plasters, pineapple and most toothpastes. 
I put a fabric plaster on my finger a few months ago and my face swelled up Thought I would have grown out of it by now. Pineapple makes me sick and toothpaste robs me of a layer of skin from the inside of my mouth. Though only toothpaste with SLS in it

I can't wear jewellery unless it is real gold, my mum is exactly the same too. However for me I think it is just with piercings that is has to be gold. I tried silver, I used to be fine with it but a couple of years ago I tried wearing it again after some time and my ears felt like they were on fire, it was so itchy and red, and then there was swelling and puss coming out of the piercing, icky! The same has happened with a nose piercing before, so no silver for me any more It's a shame gold isn't cheap, but at least I get to wear nice jewellery I guess haha. I don't have any other allergies that I am aware of.

That's pretty weird. Are you allergic to a component of Lemsip or literally Lemsip ?

I have no idea! I'm not allergic to paracetamol (not sure what else is in it) but I had some Lemsip for the first time a few years ago and my face swelled up and started peeling
I've never had any other form of cold medicine since - I'm too scared it would have the same ingredient!
