I'm allergic to penicillin - my 3 year old is too!

I am very allergic to penicillin...ugh...oh and bubble bath and most scented sunscreens.

Bactrin - it is weird. I can use it topically but if I am given the pill form I break out in a rash.

AJ is going to the Allergist on Monday because he breaks out in hives if he has watermelon, cantalope, strawberries, oranges, and tomatoes (that's what we have found so far).

Bee stings... Ugh- I blow up like a balloon at the spot of the sting and get hives on it.

Tide - break out in a rash and have to get a cortisone shot. It is the only detergent that I do that with.

Zinc Oxide - my body can handle it, but my face cannot. That is how I got my underlying skin infection that went on for months before I went to a doctor.

Grass - when I was a kid, I got allergy shots for grass, but it doesn't seen to bother me now.

This is wierd...the only 2 things I'm allergic to are Bactrim and Penecillin, which have already been mentioned. Penicillin gave me a full body rash last time I took any when I was about 12 and the Bactrim made my lips and eyes start to swell.

bee's and wasp's stings....and Asprin!!!

I have seasonal allergies ~ but every allergy test has come back negative. I also sometimes react to wine

I think a lot of it is stress related.

I'm probably the only Italian who is allergic to tomatoes. I break out in these really bad hives that turn black and blue and my hands and feet swell. When I was little it was so bad I couldn't walk. I've gotten really good at judging just how much tomato/tomato product I can eat without having a really bad issue! LOL

I'm also allergic to Tide. Itchy and scratchy doesn't even begin to describe it!

I'm allergic to pretty much everything under the sun! no foods though luckily, although my dr thinks I might have a mild allergy to caffeine. It gives me horrible migraines (which I can not take anything for since all otc migrane medicine has both aspirin and caffeine in them!)

I'll list a few things... cats, dogs, grass, penicillin, aspirin, anything in the air outdoors (pollen, mold, etc) smoke.

Those are the things I have the worst reaction to from not being able to breathe/ lungs filling with fluid to hives/ swelling. Yeah I'm a mess.

LisaBrown · #11 June 28th, 2009, 01:21 PM

Aimee, you poor thing! I can't even imagine...I love so many of those things (coffee, dogs, cats, etc.)

MommaLee · #12 June 28th, 2009, 02:46 PM

Aimee....I have a friend who is allergic to caffeine. I don't know what her symptoms are.

And I'm glad there is someone else that is allergic to Tide also

Me too! I thought it was just me and my Dad! Once when DH and I were house/dog sitting for a friend, I didn't know they used Tide and slept in the sheets. YIKES! Not fun! I had to go buy new detergent and wash the sheets, towels, kitchen towels, hand towels etc. And cover myself in hydrocortisone! LOL

I'm allergic to Penicillin and so is DH... I'm pretty sure I have seasonal allergies too - but never actually been tested for them.

My sister (we share our dad but different mom) has a pile of allergies and so do her kids...
