My husband doesn't have any allergies, not even seasonal ones. Lucky duck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1413240 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 22:51:16 +0000 .twist. 1413240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: thanks! Yes, I have noticed I can eat cooked apples and pears! Wow! See how much I learn here? Haha love it. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1413216 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 22:36:20 +0000 LindsayInNY 1413216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: @.twist.: It's called Oral Allergy Syndrome! There's a great google article on it. For me, if the fruit/veggie has been heated up or cooked, I'm fine. Or if I take Zyrtec/Benadryl before eating it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1413120 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 21:42:20 +0000 Boogs 1413120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bunch, but I'm grateful no food ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1413092 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 21:23:13 +0000 .twist. 1413092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: thanks for giving me an idea of what it was! Never even heard of that before. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1413079 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 21:17:48 +0000 sandy 1413079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a mild allergy to raw bananas...my throat gets all itchy </p> <p>I also have seasonal allergies</p> <p>Late in life I have developed contact allergies to most lipsticks and mascara :( I get terrible skin irritations and eczema outbreaks. It's sometimes okay if I wear it once or twice but anymore than that and my skin starts to reject it and freak out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1413067 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 21:13:07 +0000 T-Mom 1413067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I read somewhere that if you have birch pollen allergy, it can be worse during the pollen season vs other times of the year.. So that you might be able to eat it just fine in the winter but have a horrible reaction in the spring.. Sounds like you have it year round, though, sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1413041 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 21:00:09 +0000 .twist. 1413041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I have tried cutting it off and it still happened, I may try again. I did dip a peel-less apple in Carmel and it was fine. Maybe I can only eat apples with Carmel... I'm ok with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1413002 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 20:39:54 +0000 T-Mom 1413002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: can you eat apples and pears without the skin on? My DD and DH don't do well with those fruits and its because they have birch pollen allergy.. But they can eat those fruits without peels.</p> <p>@lovehoneybee: I have a similar reaction to butternut squash, and sometimes zucchini!</p> <p>Aside from a penicillin allergy that's it for me.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412785 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 18:29:31 +0000 .twist. 1412785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Oh, I've heard of people allergic to strawberries! So strange, and unfortunate. But they don't affect his throat? can he eat them? </p> <p>I am allergic to penicillin and the icillin family drugs. Also, since pregnancy, I have been allergic to apples and pears. (contact!?). I can't eat them because they make my lips tingle and feel swelly and hurt. I've tried since being pregnant, and it still happens! boo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412718 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 17:48:35 +0000 coopsmama 1412718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm allergic to dairy products but, oddly enough, can have butter. I don't have seasonal allergies and I'm really thankful for that. </p> <p>DS hasn't had any reactions to anything yet. I'm hoping that continues because allergies are such a pain to live with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412699 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 17:34:19 +0000 lovehoneybee 1412699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: I don't know how common it actually is, but it's called irritant contact dermatitis. It's common enough that there were lots of google results for it, thought! I always mean to put on gloves before I handle it, or at least hold it with paper towels if I'm peeling, but almost always forget :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412667 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 17:21:21 +0000 knittylady 1412667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: um, I have the same reaction to butternut squash! I thought it happened to everyone!!</p> <p>And then there's the ol' penicillin allergy. DH has random one's - cockroaches, and some sort of flower in Germany?? He found out... while in Germany.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412650 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 17:14:37 +0000 Cole 1412650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just have seasonal allergies but my husband has a slew of allergies. The worst by far is peanuts, but he is allergic to all legumes, cats, dogs and a few other odd things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412645 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 17:13:49 +0000 snowjewelz 1412645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both DH &amp; I just have seasonal allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412617 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 17:01:17 +0000 yoursilverlining 1412617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am allergic to cats, dust mites and most antibiotics (penicillin and all sulfa drugs). I also have bad seasonal allergies – I’m especially allergic to grass and maple trees. When I handle lobster, it makes my hands red and itchy (same reaction, but less severe with butternut squash), but I can eat both without any problems (thank goodness!). </p> <p>So far we don’t think LO has any allergies. She had an allergic reaction after eating pears, but she’s had pears since and has been fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412604 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 16:58:15 +0000 spaniellove 1412604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bunch of food allergies (the worst being peanut) but do have one like what you described - not only am I allergic to melons but can't touch the outside of a cantaloupe. I held one at the farmers market and broke into hives up and down my arms. Since then we've had to put them into produce bags and I have to touch them with gloves when we come home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412603 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 16:57:59 +0000 Mae 1412603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband has bad seasonal allergies. </p> <p>I suspect I have some mild seasonal allergies but it seems to vary year to year. I also am allergic to mango (blisters in my mouth and upset stomach). I think I'm also either allergic or just have an intolerance for nutrisweet (upset stomach and ridiculous diuretic effect moreso than anything I've ever had). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412586 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 16:51:22 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1412586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm allergic to cats, dogs, dust and dust mites.</p> <p>DH and Chloe don't have any known allergies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412567 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 16:44:40 +0000 Dandelion 1412567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm allergic to cedar. Gives me hives. The pollen is horrible in the spring and I can't touch cedar wood. I once had a pet and bought cedar shavings for the bedding and I was sooo uncomfortable just being around it.</p> <p>DS has seasonal allergies but nothing more than that. DH is allergic to something outside. When he pets our lab after he's been outside dh gets hives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412551 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 16:39:11 +0000 blackbird 1412551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh seasonal allergies. So much freaking pollen in this state. hate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412509 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 16:23:48 +0000 pui 1412509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm allergic to tree nuts. I carry an epipen for it.</p> <p>I am also mildly allergic to raw bananas... but I can still eat banana bread/muffins without any reaction.</p> <p>I wouldn't really call it an allergy, but I do have sensitive skin that reacts poorly to creams/shampoos/whatever with scents and dyes in them so I avoid that as much as I can.</p> <p>Also I have seasonal allergies. Some years are worse than others.</p> <p>DH gets seasonal allergies but that's it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412508 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 16:23:44 +0000 Adira 1412508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seasonal allergies, plus I'm allergic to cats and dogs (mildly). Hubs has no allergies. And Xander's allergic to dairy. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-4#post-1412504 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 16:21:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 1412504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have any? What about your SO and/or LO(s)? </p> <p>I have a weird one--a contact allergy to raw butternut squash flesh. My hands get really tight and look like...when you used to let Elmer's glue dry on your hands? It'll eventually wash off, but it takes lots and lots of soap. </p> <p>I also have a contact allergy to pretty much all scented hand lotions. Bath and Body Works doesn't do much for me!</p> <p>And regular seasonal allergies :)</p> <p>So far E has mild contact allergies to strawberries and eggplant. Very small rashes, but don't bother his throat or anything. D is very very allergic to wool. </p>
