Flower allergy sufferers -- what types of flowers are you least allergic to?

I am getting married next June and have a bridesmaid who is allergic to many types of flowers (like lilies and wildflowers). I still want to use real flowers in my wedding, if possible. I was planning to go with an English wildflower wedding theme. What types of flowers could I consider using in her bouquet? (I have heard sometimes that if all the pollen is removed from the flowers, this prevents many allergic reactions.)

there is probably no answer for this but, i'll ask anyway. during heart transplantation, provided the new heart is perfectly healthy, what could cause the left ventricle to stop working after being placed in the body?

For the past 3 days, I have had these incredibly itchy red welts on my right leg (some on either side of the knee and a few on my thigh), one on each inner thigh, some on my lower left side of the abdomen and a bunch on my lower right abdomen. The early ones seem to slowly becoming less swollen, but the more "recent" ones seem to get redder as the days go on. I tried antihistamine and creams, but nothing works. Last monday i wore new sweatpants to the gym, and I didn't have time to prewash them. the spots on my legs are in the kinds of positions that would be irritated the most by the cloth, but I am unsure if this is a contact rash...would it really last this long? I can't imagine what else it could be. (another thought I had was mono) I am going to see a doctor tomorrow, but any suggestions for temporary relief would be greatly appreciated
thanks!

I have pussed filled red bumps that leaves dark circular scars after they heal. So far, they've appeared on my legs and on my upper body. Can anyone please tell me what they are and why they keep appearing. After one would heal, a couple weeks later, another would show. It starts off looking like a mosquito bite, but when it grows, it's painful. It is hard underneath the puss. It usually takes a week or more to fully heal. Please, if anyone can offer me any information, I would really appreciate it!! Thank you!!

At first I didn't know what it was, I thought it was just a lot of dirt my cat brought in from outside, but then one day I found a flea on my chest and it bit me. So I flipped out and did research online. I found out that there is a test that you d. You take a paper towel and you wet it with the stuff on it. Wait a few seconds and if it disolves into swirls and it lookes like there is blood around it then you have fleas. AND MINE DID I HAVE THOUSANDS OF FLEAS ON MY BED AND AROUND THE HOUSE HELP!!!!!!!

My girlfriend recently thought she had an STD and that she may have passed it on to me. When talking to her about it she said she thinks she might have got it from her boyfriend before me. That was about 2 years ago. Is it possible she would have it still and have only just noticed?
I'm starting to think she has slept with someone else.
I found out she has been lying to me a lot lately about small things. I have asked her if shes been with another but can not trust her answer considering i know for a fact she is lying about other things.
what do i do?
(sorry kinda two questions in one)

I am 22, a female, living in Europe. I have had eczema when I was a baby, it went away after 5 years. About two years ago I was sick and had treatment which I believe has triggered the eczema again. It's been two years now that the treatment is over but I still have eczema. I tried moving accommodation, changing work place. I avoid eating nuts, sweets, sweet drinks, and anything spicy. It is true that I drink alcohol sometimes but it is only beer and I smoke (but my doctor said that it does not have such a major effect on eczema). I try not to stress, and use minimum medications such as steroids or corticoid creams.

Please help, I suffer most from eczema on my face, physically and mentally. My face is all red and blotchy. My eyebrows are falling out even though I try not to scratch them. I am often depressed and do not know what else to try to alleviate the symptoms or cure eczema.

Thank you very much in advance for your answer, A.
