Has anyone had any weird allergic reactions to things you wouldn't think you would? Could be food or anything else.

I ended up in the doctors office yesterday because of a reaction I had to something from Tuesday. I'm fine now but MAN what a rough couple of days.

I had a reaction one time to watermelon too but only once, never before and never again.

I'm allergic to penicillen normally but nothing else.

I had a weird problem with hives for a couple months and never figured out what they were from.

err im allergic to fake metal. thats pretty common though. i have to put masking tape underneath my studded bracelets or my arms will swell up and itch like hell.

I'm allergic to Noxema. Yeah, my face was really screwed up for a few days.

Yes that's the kind of stuff I'm talking about.

You woudln't think you'd be allergic to Noxema!


Sarah I can't wear fake metal either. Turns my skin green.

Last year I had some kind of reaction to some of those "Veggie" type chicken nuggets. I broke out in hives, I was short of breath, it was ugly.

Serves me right for trying to eat anything in nugget form.

;)

When I was on a family vacation over ten years ago I noticed that my chin had turned purple. My family and I thought it was an allergic reaction and came to the conclusion that it was BBQ sauce; I had a burger with BBQ sauce shortly before. That wasn't it. I don't know how my chin turned purple. I'm guessing it was a big bruise or the capillaries in it burst for some reason. I have never been allergic to anything. I do have a sister that cannot eat peanut butter, peanuts, or things with peanuts in any way, shape, or form. It's like cyanide to her. She had some as a baby but had to go to the hospital. She's also allergic to soy and tofu.

I have a severe allergy to "tree nuts" but that isn't too weird. But I am allergic to almost every fruit I've eaten, which I'd say is pretty weird. I've never met anyone allergic to as many fruit types as me. My throat almost closes when I eat any of them, so I steer clear.

I can't wear metal earrings, whether it be cheap or like... 14 karat gold. I have to wear plastic ones or they get so swollen and infected that the earring goes inside of my ear and I have to dig around to get it out, then it's swollen and stuff for a week.

Two weeks ago,I went to the dermatologist and found
out that a rash that I had on my face was due to being
allergic to fluoride in toothpaste.But I think it's more of
a food related allerdgy because everytime I eat potato
chips my face burns and the rash turns red.

I have somem kind of sinus reaction when I have something with MSG .. I fee like im being zapped with iggh voltage and it originates in my mouth but my whole nervous syste is affected. If my leg ks touched I jump in pain.. (In my mouth)

One sunday I ate at mcdonalads a d about 5 mins after I was dropped off t home here,I had a severe attack,, It was the wrst I had in many years...I didnt eat at mcdonalds for years after....

They still cant tell me whats causing it.. But MMS doesnt stop it frm happening again!!


I have a very messed up feeling headache the attack,feels like a snus headache...

As I get older, I find I have reactions to a lot of things. My chemistry has changed.
