I'm allergic to paprika; I get terrible gripes in my stomach if I eat anything containing paprika.

Oh, and I'm allergic to the SPF they put into lipbalms; they make my lips swell and itch - not that they need to be any bigger than they are already aaaah.

Well I sneeze at sunlight, but that's not an allergy per se. My Physics teacher was the same and he explained the technical term but I can't remember it now.

pine trees, so no xmas trees, no pine air freshener, and when i was little my riding centre used pine wood chips in the school and I had to stop going.
I get all the hay fever symptoms and if I get pricked by a pine needle I come out in hives. :frown:

semen - swell up, burn, sting & sometimes blister.

pepper - burns, even just from smelling it in. worst case is my mouth and throat blistering.

I've never met anyone else allergic to those.

I swell like a balloon and scar. I don't know if it's all bitey-stingy insects or just mozzies though, I've never been stung by anything else.

EDIT: Oh and no.7 lipsticks, my lips went all blistered and purple.

As far as I know, absolutely nothing. My sister's allergic to synthetic hair dye (so she uses Henna to dye her hair), and a few other things.

Me too! Real pine xmas trees make me itch and sneeze, wasn't nice on xmas day last year at nan's house!
Am also allergic to peanuts/nuts but that's not so random.
Citrus fruits give me asthma.
And furry animals :smile:

Aww =( Have you taken antihistamines? I had that when I ate a brazil nut choc back in June, knew I was allergic to it though. My whole body was itchy!! Urticaria is actually the posh word for nettle rash, which I find weird since it's not always caused by nettles :p:

Any idea what brought it on?

I'm allergic to one of my guinea pigs, which sucks. I'm ok with the other two, but they're different breeds with different hair. :-(

I get that, I used to have to be really careful with watches or jewellery or it'd be hell!

Other than that penicillin, hay fever and some lactose intolerance, but none of them are unusual really.
