Allergies?

Okay, so this is really random, but I wanted to post something and I'm also curious, but do any of you guys have food allergies? I'm allergic to nuts, and I'm also lactose intolerant (it's not really severe), but what about you?

back to the Down to Earth

I'm not allergic to any foods, but I am allergic to the medicine azythromycin (I think that's how it's spelled) , and all jewlery metals besides sterling silver and gold. It was awful discovering I was allergic to the medicine. I was right in the climax of having pnemonia several years ago, and was on a new medication to try. Along with severe congestion and just feeling yucky like being super sick ensures, I started getting hives. All over my body. Not. Fun. I got my ears pierced in May as a birthday present, but only until now have I been able to change them out by myself. We were all wondering what was taking my ears so long to heal, because all onto July and August they were still hot to the touch and weeping liquid. Turns out I was allergic to the metal I had been pierced with. :/

Hey, a fun fact I'm sure that most of you won't know: Cats are actually lactose intolerant! Crazy, right?

Vyolette-

Ooh, that jewelry thing sure stinks. My sister had that too, when she was small.

I did not know that cats are lactose intolerant! You would think that because they're portrayed as milk-drinkers in all little cartoons in everything, that they'd love milk! :)

Thank God, I don't have any allergies. But until like 4 years ago my skin was so sensitive that almost all kinds of sunscreen would give me a major rash. I was only able to use Aveeno sunscreen.
