I have a deadly allergy to cats. And I mean deadly! I have a very difficult time to breathe, a really difficult time breathing. If I'm in a store with someone, who has a cat, I'll have very itchy eyes. If I don't know someone has a cat, I'll soon find out.

no offense, but your allergy sounds like a special power. you mean to say cat hair really can be detected from afar?

Up to that time I don't have this type of problem at all. I can't think why people have this type of problem. Anyway what is the solution of any allergy.

when i was young i view people with allergies as just attention-getters. it was only later when i discovered my sensitivities that i learned i wasn't immune to allergies.
as what i read in readers' digest some people have allergies because in the process of man's evolution from a single celled organism some of our cells weren't able to be so strong and healthy that some humans suffer from allergies or intolerance to some substances or entities. however, some humans' cells are so healthy and strong that they can cope with all allergens.
guess you belong to the second group.

When I was a kid, I used to have allergic food reactions when ever I eat chocolate, chicken and seafood. I used to be a vegetarian while I was growing up and tried to eat those kind of "forbidden foods" again only a few years ago. Luckily, I don't have any food allergies anymore! I love chocolates

they say that allergies sometimes disappears with age because the body learns to cope. however, my lactose intolerance is coming back and that means no chocolates when i'm not at home. know what i mean?

Hello ritchelle. Yes, I do. I am allergic to dust. So, whenever I dust the furnitures, I make sure I wear a mask so, I wont inhale the dust. Im also allergic to crabs, and shrimps. My throat itches pretty bad.

i use to have the same condition as yours. however, there are alternative and cheap brands to choose from. even dishwashing liquids make my hands itch. likewise, the ones for sensitive skin are now out. yes, they also produce dishwashing liquids for sensitive skin.

Yours is quite an unusual allergy huh? Well mine's the most common. I'm allergic to dust, smoke, pollen and strong scents. I sneeze nonstop until my eyes are swollen and my throat hurts to the point that i get fever the next day. I don't know if this can be classified as allergy but everytime i take in something menthol, i get upset stomach. I don't know why. That's why i stay away from menthol.
