POLL: Do you have any allergies?

I dunno if this counts, but if I go bushwalking in the long grass without long pants my legs get itchy...but then other people do too...right?

Edit:
@ Laiwethel
Don't worry, you can't be more of a klutz than me...

 

I said no, but I don't know for sure...I think I might be allergic to mornings, so I usually sleep in as late as possible...for my own health you understand

 

Is allergies really a "new" thing? Or has it existed as long as there has been people around?

 

Allergies have probably existed since even before people; animals can have allergies too. But perception is a big difference here. Perceiving that there are things that one can be allergic to can mean the difference between someone having an allergy or just sneezing for no reason.

 

i think it is a newer-ish thing

i remember reading somewhere that people, especially kids, that live in Super-clean houses are more exposed to allergies than everybody else

 

I have "seasonal" allergies...but when the doctor said that, I think he really meant that I am allergic to all 4 of the seasons.

Not a day goes by where I don't have an itchy/runny nose, watery eyes, and uncontrollable sneezing... Allegra 180 helps, but it wears off after only 6 hours when it claims to last for 24 hours.

As far as I know I'm allergic to almost all weeds, some grasses, some trees, all types of mold, animal dander (and we have two cats ), cigarette smoke, and all that crap that collects under the bed...

The stupid thing is, before I moved to Utah, I didn’t have any allergies…but after living here for about 2 years, the started to show up, and within a full year, I was allergic to pretty much everything that’s in the air. The doc said that a climate change like the one I went through can trigger a person’s allergies to act up.

But hey, at least I don't have any food allergies.

 

@ shadow lurker: I dunno, I think managing to cut myself on an antique apple peeler and corer, or having a rock hit my finger and split the fingernail 3 ways, or repeatedly twisting ankles can be considered fairly klutzy. Oh yeah, and the various cuts and scrapes I get that I'm not entirely sure how it happened...

 

@Laiwethel
Well at least you haven't walked right into a door because you forgot to open it first....or stacked it *up* the stairs...uh~hehehe...
I understand the sudden appearance of strange cuts and bruises all too well...seriously, I never notice these things...

 

The only allergy I believe I have is tremendous hay fever, which is quite enough on its own, as anyone else with hay fever will probably tell you.

 

I'm also allergic to idiots, especially the beefcake-neonazi-hillbilly-wunderbaumsintheircars-"I'mgonnakicyourteethin" -type.

It's dangerous, this allergy. Luckily I've been able to avoid it, since otherwise my eyes would probably be swollen shut, I'd have overall puffiness and a serious threat to my health.
