If I eat so much as a single orange section, my whole mouth tingles and stings within a few seconds. It starts on the roof of my mouth and then spread to the rest of my mouth. This has happened to me since I was a child. Weird thing is I am not allergic to other citrus fruits such as lemons, limes or grapefruit.

When I was a kid in the 1950' & 60's, we had an enormous number of children in our neighborhood. The schools were overflowing with kids. Yet not one child had a peanut allergy. We all ate PB&J sandwiches and other peanut products all the time. Not one occurrance of this allergy. Now it seems like everyone I ask knows at least one person suffering from it. It just seems odd. Where did all of these cases come from? Some say it was always around but I am sure we would have heard about a kid dropping dead from eating a peanut.

He went camping and slept in a hammock and sleepingbag. He got up at dawn, sat doen, and once he leaned over, hid uvula flipped on top of his tongue, and became stuck. When his friend looked, he said it looked like he had 2 very swollen tongues. I met him at the e.r., and the doctors didn't seem woried at all. They treated him for an allergic reaction, gave hima shot of pennicillin, and sent us home. What can cause this? He thinks that maybe his troat and such dried out severly, nd then became inflamed. I think that he may have inhaled something that eh is allergic to while alseep, however, he is 37, and this has never happened before. He also snores terribly. Can that have anything to do with it/ The e.r. did take a swb of the back of his throat, but they weren't expecting anything like strep. He told me that when it was at the biggest size, he couldn't inhale through his mouth, swallow or talk. Thank God his sinuses were fine, so he breathed through his nose. Help?

I have a perscription of Singulair for indoor and outdoor allergies.. are there any medical professionals out there who know what medicines I cannot take with this regarding other allergies I might have?

Example would be allergies for eyes. When the wind is up my eyes hurt and burn, doctors have told me this could be an allergic reaction to whats in the air. If I take a medicine for this, would it interact okay with Singulair?

I have been having pretty bad reactions to the ceftin from the first time i took it, i thought it was just normal since it appears to be a strong drug. Now i recognize that is it more likely an allergic reaction to the sulfate in it. How could my doctor be so stupid? Am i missing something here, is sodium lauryl sulfate not considered a sulpha medication? Should i continue taking the ceftin despite my obvious allergy to it? Ive been taking it for 2 days and id hate to lose that time with antibiotics and have to start over on a new one. I just want to be done with this and im starting to lose my mind over this entire ordeal. I was originally prescribed this for a ear/throat infection.
Would amoxacillin be ok to take for something like this? THat i know i can tolerate. What should i tell my doctor when i go back to see him on monday and tell him he prescribed me a drug that i told him i was allergic to? Is it legal to kick him in the balls and spit in his face? please advise.

I have a hell of a lot of allergies and I had a scan done on my sinuses and it turns out I have a pulip in my sinus.
I wish to have an operation to remove it.

What I would like to know is;
Is this a day procedure?
How do they take it out?
Does it hurt like hell?
And will it stop or calm my hayfever when I have it removed?

Thanks for your answers.

Serious answers too please.

Alternatively, I wasn't allergic to any dogs until my dog died. Now I'm allergic to all of them.

I am severely allergic to bee stings, meaning I've got 20 minutes to live if I get stung!
I recently came across some lip balm that contains Bee Propolis and Beeswax. There is a warning on the label that says "DO NOT USE if allergic to BEE products."
Does this mean I cannot use this lip balm? I don't know if bee products contain any of the venom from the stinger, or any parts of the stinger itself.
Thank you in advance for answering!

I know someone so severly allergic to my 3 cats that thier eyes swell shut, tear, sneeze, congest...etc.It takes quite a long time for the reaction, but when it does happen, it is not a good thing. I need to know what else I can do around my home to help. Our children play together alot and I hate that mine always have to go by her or we have to go to playland ... I want to be able to host sleep overs too.
So, what can I do? Has there been a miracle injection or pill to reduce her allergies yet? HELP!!
THank you :)

about 2 weeks ago, i undertook a major cleaning of my house. Ever since then, every day I am finding anywhere from 2 to 6 new spots of itchy skin. I do have allergies to dust and everything associated with it. I have tried everything I can think of from washing all of my linens/slip covers for the furniture to actually taking the shop vac to my furniture (including my bed). I can't stop scratching!! It's driving me crazy... I appear to be the only one getting these, my fiance doesn't have anything on him. I've been doing some research and these bites resemble bed bugs but I don't know where they would have come from. I shower on a regular basis... I don't know what else to do... I haven't changed my diet or anything. Could I have developed an allergy to my laundry detergent even though it's the same one I have always used? What else could it be?? I haven't been able to get to my dr's b/c his schedule is basically the same as my work schedule.... HELP PLEASE!

Several members of the family are sneezy with itchy eyes and itching in the roof of the mouth. It seems like hayfever, but the internet says there is no weed, tree, grass pollen or mold. What is in the air different from other years? It has been unusually warm.

I am more interested to know if there are any particular symptoms. I know a certain cajun spice (something red) makes my throat swell and burn, cinnnamon and red pepper makes me sneeze like crazy, and I just ate some nuts and my vision went off (I felt cross eyed). The nuts say they have paprika on them. Any ideas?
