Absolutely nothing, that I know of. Although a certain type of chewing gum always gives me a sore throat, but I can't remember what type it is, which is a slight problem!

The only thing I've ever had an allergic reaction to is Daz (I was only reminded of this the other day when I saw a huge stack of it in the supermarket)! I found out when we were on holiday and I had to sleep in a roll neck top and tights with a towel over the pillow.

I wondered where the hell that was going for a minute! :p:
I pretend Im allerigc to mushrooms sometimes because of being a vegetarian - everyone wants to feed them to me, they think they are all vegetarians eat, but I hate them with a passion - rather than say "I dont like them" its easier to say Im allergic sometimes as it stops me looking rude and fussy when they are asking what to cook me for dinner.

I say I'm allergic to chocolate (or cocoa to be exact), caffine and cheese.
Technically I'm not (to my knowledge) but if I do eat them it's likely I will be ill afterwards and so I just don't. However explaining it gets tedious so I just use the easy option.
steristrips. :rolleyes: They're those things the doctors put on instead on stitches to make your skin heal together. I discovered this when I was about two, I fell over and crakced my head open rather badly on a concrete slab, and got these things put on. They were taken off about a week later, to discover that the wounds themselves had healed but the skin where the streistrips had been stuck also peeled off along with the plasters. It was DISGUSTING apparently, all brown and gungey and sticky. nice!
Fabric Plasters lol.. I told the nurse the other day and she still stuck one on lol.. Leaves me with a biiiiiig mark. so embarrasing lol.
Im allergic to penicillin as well. I have been told that if i take it i could die due to shock :frown: Im also slightly allergic to milk (as a drink only, but not when its in anything) its weird it has only just started but it makes me feel sick and my throat swells up making it difficult to swallow.
penicillin, but also, weirdly, grass. if i sit on grass with bare legs, i get a horrible rash. which is annoying for picnics!
peanuts and lactose
Allergic to pollen, enyzmes in biological powder, glycerine- found in gum...i kno weird!!

I'm allergic to loads of stuff
sweetcorn - love the taste but makes me vomit
Prawns - in my non veggie days used to bring me out in a rash, but I always wonder whether that is psychological because I hate the texture it makes me cringe.
Bodyshop - all their creams and new makeups make my hands swell up and itch like nothing on earth.
Some E colourings - don't know what it is exactly until i've eaten it but some lolipop sweets and chicken pathia (the red indian takeaway also from non veggie days) makes my lips swell up and go bright red and it doesn't come back for days.
Scented shampoos - most scented shampoos give me terrible flaky scalp and I don't just mean dandruff like really dry patches its horrible
Scented showergels - bring me out in a rash
Mum deodorant and soft and gentle - give me a rash
Hand wash the stuff that you get in public toilets makes my hands itch and swell up
Detergents daz, surf, persil all give me dry skin and a rash.
Tomatos - not in food but raw in salads have started giving me a really bad stomach so I think I'm going allergic to them too.
I'm also sure that my tolerance to the sun goes beyond burning easily - there only has to be mild sun in the summer and if i have no sunscreen on I will blister and peel.
Pollen and dust - get terrible terrible hayfever and sometimes asthma in the summer
