Weird Allergies

So I have the usual seasonal allergies.  But I am also allergic to pine nuts.  I haven't been officially diagnosed but the last time I had them on a meal my esophagus closed up.  unfortunately, pine nuts are used far to much these days as a garnish on pasta meals.  And of course in pesto.

 

What are your off the beaten path allergies?

Peppermint. Just the smell makes me severely nauseous. I haven't eaten it in probably 30 years, not sure of the reaction and I don't want to find out.

DD is allergic to pencil shavings. In elementary school she couldn't sit by the pencil sharpener or should would be miserable. She was tested and was positive for trees, grass and nickel - none of which are exotic. But the pencil shavings did her in every time.

 What type of wood are pencils made out of?

 OMG I love peppermint patties.  I would be so sad if I were allergic to peppermint.

KFC. Love it. Makes me sooooo sick. I can eat fried chicken from anywhere else with no issues.

 Not sure. We had a note from DD's allergist to make sure she could use mechanical pencils even in the lower grades and to ask that she not sit by the sharpener.

Balsam wood! That is what is used in pencils.

Deer meat. I love it, but I get physically sick each and every time I eat it.

And it seems pistachios are a new problem. Only recently started, but they cause my mouth, tongue, and throat to tingle and itch.

And the saddest thing to happen was at 20, I began having allergy headaches when tokin it up.

I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to syrup but I've never officially confirmed it.

Tomatoes. They give me a runny nose within minutes of eating them.

And uncooked, spinach makes my mouth sore.

It feels like a really bad burn.

Fresh pineapple. If it's pasteurized pineapple juice or cooked pineapple, I'm fine. Fresh pineapple will kill me.

Stupidity.

Been allergic to that for a long, long time.

I'm getting better at controlling the reactions though.

Apples. It's a more common allergy in Europe, but people consider that really weird.

Same here SB.  I think it's the grease.

Amoxacillan.  I get a UTI every time I take it.  I don't know if it is really an allergy or just a reaction but I tell the doctor I'm allergic to it so they will give me something different.

 Happens to me, too.  I can barely get through a meal from there without having to run to the bathroom.

We have 1 KFC left. We haven't eaten anything from there since my kids were babies.

It's just dirty.

It use to be good.

But that was when we didn't have the option of Bojangles.

This is strictly my personal opinion and does not reflecton anyone else's opinions.

I'm allergic to uncooked milk fat. If I have a glass of milk, bowl of cereal, or anything that has uncooked milk in it, the milk must be fat free. But, pancakes or anything else with cooked milk in it, I can have any kind of milk. It's a hard allergy to explain to people but, thankfully, it very rarely ever comes up.

I'm not lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy. My pediatrician called it an allergy to the milk fat protein.

 Husband says raw spinach hurts his mouth. Raw tomatoes as well. 

I cannot eat any kind of melon. Makes my moUtah and throat unbearably itchy and sometimes my tongue swells up. 

I also cannot eat walnuts (or any dressing made with walnuts or walnut oil) for the same reason. Other tree nuts- like pecans- don't bother me at all.

Coconut! You have no idea how many things have coconut in them that you would never think did. My tongue swells and my face itches. Yuck.

I'm not allergic to anything. I'm weird.

I think I may be developing an allergy to cats though. Hmmmm.....

 That would be odd.  You know people with cat allergies can actually get immune to one or two specific cats.

And people that have never had cat allergies become so allergic that they can't live in the same house.  Right?  Right???  Please tell me I'm right!  LOL!!!!!

Yellow fly bites. I pretty much immediately get cellulitis. It's so bad, I just have to call my doctors office to get my antibiotic script.
