Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yeah, having a food allergy would suck. My dad has extreme food sensitivities, so I know how debilitating it can be. Heck, if I cook certain foods in my house it gives my dad indigestion, just from the smell. :s

A good friend of mine is allergic to like EVERYTHING. I can't wear perfume of any sort but Bodicology if I know I'm going to be around him. He's allergic to spiders, peanuts, dust, dander, pollen... practically everything. He carries an all-around epipen with him everywhere...
Fortunately, I have no allergies but pollen, and that's usually only in spring and the very beginning of summer.

Eeeewww. razz

I can't stand the taste of nutmeg, it makes me feel physically ill, but that's because of a bad experience at work. My boss was making Christmas meat pies, and left a pot full of raw meat and nutmeg mixed together right next to where i was working while he went and did something else, and the contrast just made me feel sick... now I feel sick when I eat or smell nutmeg.

I'm allergic to a medication called cefzil, which is for ear infections. It gave me hives. I used to get a lot of ear infections as a child, but my normal medicine wasn't that. My normal medicine was banana flavoured, and I loved it. x3 We just got Cefzil once because my regular doctor was unavailable, and we went to a walk-in clinic, I think. Could be wrong, it was a long time ago. Mostly all I remember about getting hives is being disappointed that they weren't shaped like hexagons, because I related it to beehives...

It was Amoxcillin, I just asked. I never knew that. The more you know~

And that sucks, Tae. D: It was awesome. I actually liked getting sick just so I could have it, I loved it that much. Did you get ear infections and had a different medicine? Or just didn't get ear infections?

Cefzil had an elephant on the packaging, I think. But it was white and icky.

Oh yeah... Robutussin. I throw up when I have Robutussin. And my brother and dad are both allergic to Penicillin.
Also? I can't take any sort of pill that has fish oil in it without getting sick as a dog.... and Mucinex and Flonaise have no effect on me whatsoever (then again, what kind of a doctor proscribes those for a double-ear infection he doesn't think exists? stare Stupid Dr. Wise...)

Well, yeah, everyone knows Robutussin is used for colds. I was saying Mucinex and Flonaise were the medicines given to me for me ear infections. Obviously. neutral

I didn't get snippy. And I said robitussin because, first, we were talking about allergies, and then talking about allergies and antibiotics. Robitussin is a medicine often prescribed by doctors to fight flu bugs. Any flu is actually a broad-spectrum infection. If you have a fever, you almost always have an infection somewhere. It's medical logic. That's all I meant. Anything fighting an infection can be considered an antibiotic, though with many viruses only specific antibiotics can be used.
