    I don't have any ''allergy'' per say, but I have chronic urticaria. I get hives when I'm too hot/nervous or when I exercise. They usually last a few minutes, but during them, I feel like ripping my skin off. I get red bumps mostly on my chest and arms. Then, they go away like it never happened.

    I'm currently taking antihistamines daily because it's hell. It helps, but sometimes, I still get a reaction.

    I am allergic to avocado, but I still get a reaction if it's in things like guacamole. It makes my mouth itch and my eyes water, and I physically can't swallow it. That's my only allergy.

    I'm allergic to hamsters. Holding one makes my hands swell, so I have to wear thick gloves whenever I handle them.

    I'm also allergic to chlorine. It's a great excuse not to have to go swimming. Plus I get to miss certain chemistry lessons.

    The flu vaccine. Yeah you read that right. Every year I have to choose between my mouth throat and arms getting swollen up to balloons, or the possibly getting the flu.

    Gluten, though I have celiac disease so not sure if it is just that or if it is both that and an allergy. Touching bread is enough to cause my fingers to become an irritated red color.

    Peaches make my lips and throat swell and sting and cherries make my throat feel like I just swallowed sandpaper.

    That sounds like it could be a wheat allergy. Coeliac disease is almost always only triggered by contact with the stomach.

    Umm, my brother's cat. When ever I touch her, my eyes gets itchy, but she's so cute and I can't resist. The funny thing is, my cat and my mum's cat didn't any reaction.

    I believe I'm allergic to Penicillin. When I was a baby, I had some kind of ear ache and I was given pencillin. Apparently, I broke out with rashes/hives all over my body.

    I'm mildly allergic to watermelon. If the juice gets on my skin, the area will noticeably swell. It's only an annoyance to me, though, and I forget sometimes.

    The skin of pretty much every fruit I've eaten the skin of. Especially apples and peaches. I can eat apple pie and peach yogurt, but a regular apple or peach, no.

    For me, I don't always notice the hives or the swelling. But other people sure do. I used to be really embarrassed about it, which was bad because sometimes stress brings them on, too.

    Honestly I never thought about taking antihistamines for it until fairly recently. :eusa_doh:

    may I say human stupidity is my main allergy?

    besides that, I am allergic to hazelnuts, and to some plants and dust, but it's not that weird nowadays.
    I'd also add strawberries to my list, but I like them too much. :grin:

    Everyone at school says I'm allergic to life. I will list as many things as I can think of that I can't eat or touch.
    Apples
    Bananas
    Tropical fruits
    Peppers (airborne)
    Facepaint
    Certain rubbers
    Insect bites (yeah, my face swelled up)
    Dust
    Tomatoes (can't even touch them)

    I'm sure theres more than that but that's the ones that come to mind. I have to take a nasal spray and prescribed antihistamine tablets everyday and I have to carry piriton with me everywhere I go
