what? how do you deal with it? do you take medications or shots. do you know how old kids have to be to be tested for allergies?
i'm allergic to polly sporin, when i got my tattoos done years ago they recommended to put that on, i got really infected on my first 3 tattoos using it until my mother said i think your allergic. so after that i switched to a different cream and i haven't had infections on any of my new ones.

I'm mostly allergic to any kind of product that involves animal dander or oils. This includes all pets and even perfume. I am extremely allergic to most scents of any kind. But, some of the more milder forms of scents I can use. It's mostly the type that is airborne. Those are pretty much what I'm allergic to. I am also allergic to sulfur dioxide, and stuff that's in hair color.
Mostly, I avoid what I am allergic to if I can. The problem is that I work with the public and many women wear perfume. Or, I work as a temp and have to sit two feet away from someone doused in perfume. It's easier to avoid pets, except some people bring them in to work or to my work place.

i don't wear perfume. when my daughter was born she was in the hospital for 2 months in the NICU. we weren't allowed in their with perfume, "no scents is good sense" so i stayed scent free after that. i knew it was a lot for a baby to breath in while i was holding her. i also forgot i'm allergic to fake gild. i can't wear cheap erings or any thing else in my ears unless it's real.

I am allergic to dogs but they don't give me asthma or respiratory symptoms. Not all dogs, just short-haired ones. I will break out in hives where they touch my skin. I have to be careful not to touch my eyes after petting them or my eyes will itch terribly. I don't take anything for it, just remember to wash my hands after playing with them.

No, I'm not thank goodness. I know so many people who have peanut allergies, and their lives can be very difficult at times.
