Do you suffer from allergies?

[bwana]

Another thread got me wondering - do you suffer from allergies? If so what type(s)? Hay fever? Bees?

No allergies, but sinuses play up from time to time

Me nothing. But baby son has lots. Not sure if genetics or lack of exposure due to lockdown.
We seem have to have managed to reduce his peanut allergy from hives to nothing through daily minute exposure. Now we are working through the tree nuts -- smear of cashew nut butter, careful that it goes in the mouth rather than on skin. Seems to be working!

As an allergist we read about said: allergies develop through exposure on the skin, they go away (when young at least) by getting them into your mouth/digestive system.

Just a normal response by the body to excessive particles in the air.

Wish I had told my son he was allergic to cashews. It's a three way fight over the bag when we open them.

I don't know if it's technically an alergy or not. Just chalk it up to breathing in crap all day.

I don't break out in hives if I look at a peanut...no alergies like that

It's like needing to bang out your tractor air filter after a very dusty day in the fields.

Hay fever here and these days every time I sneeze my wife looks at like I've got covid.

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

hay fever, pretty often and sometimes like a mofo causing me to put in a half/full day of sick leave because I'm basically unproductive

worse in winter for some reason, so no, not the spring time pollen as everyone seems to assume

Hay fever, dust mite and dry eczema. I usually get a sinus drip and the eczema is caused by some type of fungus which I am apparently allergic to.

Insects - bees, swell up badly.
Probably due to bee tolerance experiments by my doctor as a kid.

Foods (last few years) - quite a few, such as cheese, chocolate, nuts, wheat products.
Reactions like sneezing fits and massive nose blowing, poor digestion. Especially with some excesses.

I am not allergic, but my Son is heavy allergic to Peanuts, and Watermelon.

have 'allergic rhinitis' according to my doc. Only showed its ugly face about 4 years ago, about a year after I gave up smoking. I have to take a pill every morning and use a nasal spray. If I miss a single dose of either, im screwed for a few days. Literally unable to even work.

None of the thousands of so-called "food allergies", which as the other thread shows is mostly modern society's fault anyway.
Everyone has a reaction to pollen in the air, dust etc, which is a seasonal thing. Calling it an " allergy" is pushing credibility.
Medical allergic reactions is the ONLY credible one in that entire list.

Years of suppressing your immune system from smoking catching up with you. Now, when your body is already losing its ability to deal with these things, all you can hope for is another pill to keep the suppression going hence the pill.

I suffer with hay fever seasonally and have an extreme allergy towards dairy products. Water runs down my nose like waterfalls.

Nope.

Of course it's an allergy - it's right there in the name - allergic rhinitis. The body produces histamines in response to it, in other words it's a medical allergic reaction.
