Allergies
Recently I keep getting a blocked/runny nose, its not a cold, been going on for weeks on and off, that and the tickle their that makes me sneeze over and over is getting tiresome now. I must have "suddenly" developed an allergy to something, its not confined to home either, happens at work too, doing my head in! Does anyone know how to identify just what it is they may be allergic to?

you might have built up an intolerance to something .e.g. my sister used to go mad cleaning with bleach, and now her skin reacts to it.. I'm allergic to cat hair BIG time.
you has asthma ? someone I met had a nut and gluten intoelerance, the nut one being that would kill her, she had to carry an eppy pen.
I have been sneezing a lot of late , but I put it down to the odd weather.
on the subject of allergies I am really allergic to wine. if I open a fridge door and there's a half drunk bottle of wine in there I will recoil. sometimes even find it hard to be in a room of people drinking wine. no idea why because I'm not allergic to grapes or alcohol. the other thing in wine apparently is tannin but that's in tea and I can drink tea fine
he will sratch your arm with lots of stuff to see if there is a reaction. if that fails he will rub a cat in your face, see if thats the problem. :p
I personally think it's Gaia, beginning the long process of cleansing the world of it's most harmful parasite - humin beans. :D
we got nukes, what do she have, small orange frogs.
/China wins by default.
(insert joke here about rubbing a pussy in your face...................., cant believe you missed that opportunity mile!)
i didn't miss is, i was waiting for someone to make the joke, then go.....
tut tut tut
;)
He owned up to it a few years later thinking he was clever that he got my to eat prawns (because even if they didn't make my head into a beetroot I don't like them), the next time it happened was about a year ago or so when my wife made some kind of chinese dish that had oyster sauce and shrimp paste in it, but it was nowhere near as bad visibly as the first 2 times, but I found I started getting kind of short of breath.
My mother in law is a doctor and the wifes aunt is a pharmacist, and both told me to avoid shrimp/prawns in future as just because I haven't had a bad reaction to date I could have in the future. My wifes family all have ridiculous amounts of allergies, so most of them have had a dose of anaphylaxis before, and all who have said it sucks (I imagine they're correct as it can pretty much end your life) :D
I think I'll email my best mate and ask him if he remembers the time he got tiny shrimp under the cheese on the spicy chicken pizzas. It'll be nice for him to know that potentially he could've killed me :lol:
such a poof. :p
I don't like them even if they didn't make me head glow I wouldn't eat them. Who knows maybe they don't maybe it was high blood pressure from too much booze? But I'm not going to shovel a handfull of those sh*t eating gutter parasites into my mouth to find out.
So there! :p
**** eating gutter parasites. lol
you dont see that on the menu often. :-P
another weird alergy I've just remembered is that whenever I eat cheese my eyelids start sweating! very odd, must be a reason though
I've had the same on and off for a few years now
As a bloke of course I refuse to take anything for it.
When I was getting my ankle checked out a few years back (long story) I did mention it and was told that a lot of pollens n that were coming across from mainland Europe n Scandanavia that because we didn't grow up with them were probably the cause
Dunno if it's true but he was a Dr and it sounded logical
I found out that if I eat a few that I get the symptoms of a bad head cold for about half an hour (runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing) and then it goes away again. My mouth gets a bit itchy too. No blue face, twitching or requirement for adrenaline shots though.
I just avoid 'em.
I'm also allergic to some cats and dogs, though it seems to be random and doesn't seem to fit a pattern of breed or if they have long hair etc. I once stayed over at a mate's who had cats and when I woke up it felt like my eyes were on fire. Little basts.
I just avoid 'em.
Around this time, it's probably mould spores that are setting you off. I consider myself lucky - if you get grass allergies, you're snotting all summer. The thing to do is note when it occurs each year and look it up on seasonal pollen charts. It helps to know when you can expect it to end again.
With plants it's down to the size of the pollen grains - similarly sized grains from different trees will all set you off. Although with oilseed rape, that irritates a lot of people if it's grown in massive amounts even if you aren't allergic.
I grew up around fields and hedgerows, so so far I don't suffer from those native and farmed things. However, in suburbs and new estates they plant a ridiculous amount of birch as it grows tall quickly, despite being the most common trigger for tree-pollen allergies. I have a friend on the Whitely estate who I can't visit in April even fully drugged up.
With dogs it's usually the hair that sets you off (except for the wooly coat of schnauzers). If it's just cats it's usually their dried spittle on the hairs.

The only problem is the side-effects - amnesia, headache, dry mouth, nausea.
Still, no prescription required :-P
who told you that, the local bee keeper? :grin:
nah it was on the radio years ago.. it makes sense if you think about it, due to the pollen being used for the honey.
honey is one of the only things that don't go off apparently.. I guess it's due to it's consistency.
it's a high value item, well certain types of it
you know an awful lot about honey fog.
theres a reason for that... I keep bee's and try to flog honey to unsuspecting northerners :)
(I don't have a hive , not even the game by firebird)
speaking of which, the author looks familiar.. wonder if WOS has permission from the authors

I'm thinking they weren't too happy and every time my wifes uncle messed with the hive his white beesuit developed several thousand polker dots. Although maybe they're still there? The hive was right next to a nice variety of trees, several fruit bushes, and a row of grape vines, so they had a nice variety of things to gather pollen from (although to be honest I have no idea if that really matters?)?
It brings anybody out in a rash if they're sliding along on it at 90 :p
