Who here doesn't have any allergies?

I’m not bragging or anything but it seems like everyone I know has at least one allergy.
Pollen, Ragweed, mold spores? I laugh at you. We can include food problems as well. Lactose intolerance? Ha. I can drink a half gallon of whole milk a day, if I was so inclined.
What is a little ironic to me is that I am a pack a day smoker and drink more than I should. I would think that could cause a weakening of my immune system.

So who else is lucky in this? For the allergy impaired don’t hate me. :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t know that I’m allergic to any of the pollen/ragweed/dust/mold things, but I do know that at various points in the year (a couple of months ago, for instance), my nose gets all runny and I take some Zyrtec and it goes away. My mommy says that I’m allergic to tomatoes because they “turn my face red” but I don’t really believe it. My face is always red.

Allergic to nothing.

Also have had only one cold in eight years, and it wasn’t even a bad one at that. I am a 49 y.o. woman under a significant amount of stress with about 20 extra pounds on me.

Go figure.

I don’t think I’m allergic to anyone. As far as I know, I guess.

Speaking.

No allergies that I know of. I do get a touch of rosacea if I’m in the wind too long.

None that I know of up here, but I won’t know for sure until I’ve been here in the spring and summer, since I moved here at the very end of last summer.

My nose is fairly runny sometimes, but that’s because it’s very dry.

I got nothin’. Not even allergic to poison ivy, and yes, this has been inadvertently tested.

No allergies. But I REALLY dislike the smell of cigarette smoke. As it tickles my nose and causes me to sneeze/cough for a little while, but then I can get used to it. But it still tickles, and I dislike the smell.

But foods and Meds? Gimmie all you got.

AnyTHING, I mean. Sorry, I was watching AI while I was posting. :smack:

I’ll bet you’re allergic to mosquito saliva, like just about every other human.

Formaldehyde. And hairspray (the tress-taming mist, not the hip musical). Nothing else that I know of.

Me! (Except for mosquito saliva, like Ponch8 pointed out.) I do get hugely nauseated by the smell of peanut butter, though.

I’m not allergic to anything either (that I know of). When I was younger, my mom thought I had pollen/mold type allergies because I would have a stuffy or runny nose for months at a time, but I haven’t had that problem in at least five years. Now I get maybe one cold a year. I’m gonna guess that it’s not allergies.

OK, I admit I have had poison Ivy before. Isn’t that more of a chemical reaction versus an allergy? If not, even then the only way I get it If I am yanking weeds in the garden without gloves and even then, it is just a few small bumps.

Again, is this an allergy? I will itch like nearly any other human on the planet with a mosquito injection of saliva. Same with chiggers, oh how I hate those retched bastards. :frowning:
Hopefully a medical professional will show up. I should have been more specific in my OP. I was thinking more of airborne and/or food that we eat, not critters who bite us.
But that is my fault, carry on.

I believe it’s a histamine reaction, which is the same/similar to true allergic reactions.

But I do think it’s a bit of a misnomer to say that (most) everyone is allergic to mosquito saliva/poison ivy, because I’m not sure it’s really the same thing.

Oh, and AFAIK, I’m not allergic to anything. Slightly lactose intolerant, but that’s it.

The smell of bleach makes me feel really ill.

I might be allergic to marijuana. I had one hit on a joint ten years ago, & I couldn’t walk for three hours. I didn’t try that again, but I do love the way it smells.

Nothing else. Sturdy peasant stock, I always say.

The histamine response is a type I hypersensitivity, a.k.a. “allergy.”

Count me in.

I had an allergic reaction to some candy when I was a kid. The worst part of it was that it was forbidden candy. I was under strict orders not to eat it. “Um… Mom?”

As an adult I found that same candy, and ate it with no problems.
