It was my Eighth grade graduation and me and the family decided to go to Red Lobster since we hadn't been there in a while. I started acting like a bigshot and my brother dared me to eat the lobster, which he told me countless times was not only expensive but nasty. Still, I ordered it and actually ate the hole thing. Then on the way home, these huge lumps (mosquito bite looking) started appearing all over my body and was slowly approaching my neck. My dad dropped everyone else off and I spent the rest of my graduation night in the hospital. The doctor said it was an allergic reaction and since that day, I've tried to stay as far away from all seafood as possible. [/lifestory]

Oh, haha, once when I was little I got some of those soap crayon things you can draw on the bathtub with. I colored all over myself with them, and it turned out I was allergic to the soap, so I got this freaky swirly scribbly rash all over me. xD

Nothing else I can think of that I'm allergic to, although my parents gave me cough syrup when I was little and it always turned me psycho. Seriously, after I had cough syrup, it messed with my head and made me incredibly irritable and prone to violence. We kinda stopped doing it after a couple times and I haven't had it in years, but considering how different I am now I'd be afraid of it having the same effects. D:

I'm allergic to penicillin. There are other things (not food), but I don't know... All they really do is make me sneeze a lot, so I don't really care to find out.

I'm sure there's something else I'm allergic to that I have yet to eat, and I'll probably have a break out or something. :P

I actually have no allergies. I used to be allergic to pollen, but I got over it by being outside during the months when there's a lot of pollen. So now, I'm not allergic to anything. No food, no dust, no pets (which is good, since I have five pets), no pollen. I'm all right with everything.

So you can't claim that everyone is allergic to something. Right now, I'm perfectly fine with everything.

I don't have any allergies that I know of, so luckily I haven't had to say that to anyone. :]

Okay, I am allergic to onions and everything related to it like green, red, spring onions, leeks, etc. I was at a friend's house the other day and her mother made us hamburgers with onion in the meat. I could smell it, and I asked her if there was onions in it, and told I couldn't eat it cuz I'm allergic. =/

I felt so bad afterwards. She put so much effort in it to make lunch for us and I said "Sorry, I'm allergic." T_T

That one's on my conscious forever..

Im not so sure what I am allergic to :x I think some kind of grass and my step dad's parents house. Because when I laid in it once, I got this bad rash on my legs and a little bit on my arms so I guess I am allergic to some grass :x


When it ended, you cried instead of make anew

That's one allergy I wouldn't mind having, actually. XD Onions are like... the nastiest edible things in the world to me. I've always had a strong aversion to them, but my friends and family like to tease me about that and often manage to stick a slice in my cheeseburgers and stuff. *shudders* If only I had a medical excuse not to eat them like you do!

Anyway, to answer the question, I don't have any allergies that I know of. It'd be hard for me if I did since I love animals like cats and dogs. ._.

I developed the regular springtime allergies a year or two ago. I didn't think it was possible, but haha, it was I guess and now I have to deal with the random sinus headaches, sniffling, etc. Incase you think that it's just a cold, my mother has allergies too, and I have the same symptoms of being allergic to pollen and stuff as her, just less severe. ;/

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.

I say my allergy line a lot D: I'm allergic to pennicillian, and my doctors always make me remind them about that when I go in for checkups, etc. I'm also allergic to weed, pollen, dust, grass..yeah being outside sucks :( but I have medicine for that luckily.

Then finally food wise, I was allergic to blueberries (my entire chin/neck truned blue when I ate them when I was younger) but I outgrew that. I'm still allergic to swiss cheese though. My throat swells up and I can't breathe when I eat it.

I'm allergic to some pollen which we have never actually identified. But whatever it is, once I take Clariton I'm set to go :D So it can't be that bad. Oddly enough, I'm the only one in my immediate family who has any allergies o_o
