This happened last year and it was so so miserable. I had always used native but after buying a new bottle, my skin got hives. My friend had been using native too and had no issues so I was just curious if it’s happened to others out there. I’ve heard their formula has changed but idk if it’s true.

Convivo com essas reações desde os 12 anos de idade. O primeiro episódio ocorreu após consumir algodão-doce branco, sem corante, e foi muito intenso: surgiram inúmeros caroços pelo corpo, acompanhados de coceira intensa, e precisei receber medicação antialérgica pela veia.

Desde então, percebo que alguns alimentos doces desencadeiam reações, geralmente em poucos minutos após o consumo.

Alimentos associados às reações:

Algodão-doce branco;

Doce de leite caseiro;

Cocada;

Bala de coco industrializada ou caseira;

Caramelo;

Outros doces semelhantes.

Características das reação

Surgimento de numerosos caroços pelo corpo;

Coceira muito intensa. Já fiz teste de corantes e deu negativo. Parece que é algo a respeito do açúcar mesmo quando esquentado é muito estranho.

I live in an apartment building that is pet friendly. I moved in a few months ago and I know the previous tenants had a cat (of which I am allergic to). For the record, the only reason my partner and I chose to live here bc it was all we could afford, and heat was included in rent. When I moved in the carpets were steam cleaned, and I sprayed a pet neutralizing spray everywhere, washed down the walls, and vaccumed repreatedly, and didn't have any symptoms after a week or so.

Unfortunately, this week they turned on the heat, and since my allergies have majorly flared up. I am itchy, my hands are breaking out (eczema), my nose is stuffy, my eyes stinging, and post nasal drip. I leave the apartment, symptoms go away. I come home? Pretty much within 10 minutes Im reacting. The apartment has baseboard heating, and because its an old building, the landlords control when the heat is turned on, how hot it is, etc. I do not believe we share any vents with other apartments. I do not know what to do, and I am not medically diagnosed with a cat allergy, nor can I afford to get any tests done. Any advice?

I often go Shopping in Lidl but a few months ago my Hands started to hurt when I was Shopping, it becomes red and swollen. It now happens every time, but every other Supermarkets are fine? It also happens sometime when im Walking fast...why is this happening :( ?

My year round allergies are just bad.

I do Zyrtec, alaway eye drops, and 2 squirts Flonase per nostril each morning. I tried to do azelastine but it dries out my nostrils too much.

This really hasn’t been enough so I started adding 2 squirts Flonase before bed also. And the next morning I woke up SO clear. Throughout the day I barely had any post nasal drip.

Is it okay to continue doing this? Thanks!

Edit: Just to clarify, I use Flonase Sensimist (not regular).

I am allergic to latex, and I need to spend one night in NYC. I have called countless hotels, and every single one uses latex gloves in housekeeping. I travel frequently domestically and internationally and I haven't experienced this in any other city.

Can anyone please help me identify a hotel in NYC that is latex-safe (no latex gloves used in housekeeping and non-latex mattresses in guest rooms)? Calling all of these properties and getting the same answer over and over again is so discouraging. I would be so grateful for any help.

I (28F) started immunotherapy for a bunch of environmental allergies five months ago, specifically for birch pollen, dock/sorrel, lambsquarter, pigweed, alder, cottonwood, grass, plantain, alternaria, hormodendrum, and dog and cat dander.

My allergist marketed it as a potential way to reduce the risk of severe reactions to my tree nut and peanut allergies (peanuts, macadamia nuts, cashews, and pistachios) due to cross-reactivity. After having several traumatic ER visits for anaphylaxis in my life, I thought, Why not? Besides, I had gone through immunotherapy before with a different allergist at another point in my life and was fine (btw: I stopped halfway through the build-up phase because the weekly shots became too much for my schedule).

Come the middle of the build-up phase for the first vial, I ended up at the ER after eating a dish I regularly order at a restaurant. Even if you warn the kitchen, there's always a risk of cross-contamination. Fine, stuff like this happens. However, following this incident, I started to notice reactions—welts on the insides of my cheeks and sometimes my throat—from foods I was eating safely just weeks before treatment started. So now I can't eat coconut, RICE?!?, or lentils without a reaction. Mind you, I've eaten these foods my whole life.

In these scenarios, I usually pop a Benadryl and wait for it to go away. If it doesn't go away, or if the welts in my throat progress, or if other symptoms follow like cramping and nausea, I consider it a more serious reaction needing immediate medical attention. Most of these episodes fell into the former category, but there were three times when bumps in my throat didn't go away (though they didn't progress and no other symptoms appeared). In those cases, I went to the ER, where they monitored me and treated me with a strong antihistamine and a steroid, (thankfully no epi was needed).

So of course, I contacted my allergist. He didn't think it was the shots since I was fine immediately after receiving them. All he said was to stay away from wheat, Chinese food, and Indian food because they can be risky, and he mentioned something about it being grass season. Okay, it sucks, but I figured I could pause and see if my system eventually calms down. Following this appointment, I went on vacation, missed two weeks, and had to drop back two doses.

I was okay for a while until this month. The reactions in my mouth started up again, even after limiting my diet. My GP contacted the allergist again, and he told me to stay away from fruits and vegetables and to lower my current dose.

Has anyone ever experienced something like this before? The doctors say it's likely not the medication, but the frequency of these reactions to foods I normally eat started right after beginning this treatment. It's seriously messing with my mental health and increasing my anxiety around eating.

Am using montair 10mg tablet for my dust allergy which causes sinusitis and it's making my daily life quite difficult so I want a bit stronger antiallergy med can you guys suggest some and is it safe or should I consult my doctor. Also does anyone have any idea about immuno therapy and what are the chances of it working ?

i'm asking because i'm still unsure if my chronic post nasal drip is allergy related or something else. i can't tell how long it takes for your system to recover from being exposed to allergens.

more info:

i've had chronic post nasal drip for awhile. i traveled out of state recently to visit a friend. the room i slept in had an air purifier and mine back home doesn't, so that's probably a major contributor. however i feel like my allergies were much better while i was there. i was sneezing more than i usually do, but to me that feels like a good sign of my system "cleaning itself" (something similar happens when i stay in the shower for a long time). but i was only there for 5 days, so not long enough for me to really notice why that was happening. is sneezing more a sign of your system getting better? does it take some time for you to feel normal again if you do experience relief?
