y'know what is completely whack? i am allergic to cokroaches. i was getting allergy testing one a few years ago, and i am really allergic to the little buggers. they are not common where i live, here in the cold north, so i don't even understand how i developed the problem in the first place.
it seriously limits my travel options. are people commonly allergic in those warmer areas that have more roaches?
I have never heard of such a thing- although if we can be allergic to dust mites, then why not? It just sounds like a very random thing to have on an allergy test panel.
yeah, i thought was odd too, but it turns out it is about equally common as a dust mite allergy. isn't that strange?
what freaks me out is that exposure is usually a precursor, and cockraoch infestations are not too common up here. how the heck did i get to be allergic? unless i lived in a place without knowing it was infested.
