What are you allergic to?

I am allergic to dust, mold, and dust mites. When I was younger I was allergic to all foods. A few years back I found out I am allergic to my own sweat.

animal dander
wood smoke
cigarette smoke
mold and pollen spores

agree on mean people. cigarette smoke here. I forgot about that one.

A very short list:

Lifelong, my own mucus. If my nose starts to drip it can go for a week.

For a while, I had a self-inflicted [long story] allergy to the plant Creeping Charlie alias Creeping Jenny - a lowgrowing mint sometimes thrown into the same genus with catnip but more recently tending to be separated. I MAY have passed out of that.

More recently, some evidence my innards react to certain red-pigmented foods - I love beets, rhubarb pie, red peppers, but I sometimes pay deatly for the pleasure. But this one seems to be variable.

Pollen is my #1 allergy. Long-haired cat fur is also a pain sometimes (which was always fun when my cat Polly was alive, because she loved me a great deal and would insist on sitting on my lap whenever she could ), as is cigarette smoke, which makes my lungs feel like they've shrivelled to about half their normal size.

I'm allergic to absolutely nothing.

This seems to differ from everyone else I've known with AS.

Me too nothing

But I hate cigarettes and I keep myself far away from smokers. I tell all people I'm allergic.

As a child I was highly allergic to pollen and I had to take medication for it. One year I suddenly outgrew it, and now they're barely noticeable.

Mainstream society
Mushrooms

mildly to dust and pollen and fatally to Sulfa medications

I'm suspected to be allergic to paracetamol....
But in food wise, no.

everything in the rose family: apples, plums, peaches, raspberries, pears, almonds, etc. all cause anaphylactic shock

the standard respiratory ones: cats, dust, certain tree pollen

the tobacco plant (yet not the smoke, ironically), cockroaches

a certain aunt, who makes me want to run the other way.

I'm not allergic to anything.

Nuts, cats, horses, wheat beers, sometimes (but not always) Guiness, some wine, straw.

Just jewelry with nickle in it. And squid ink... found out that one while squeezing squid guts out to prepare them for dinner.
