Allergies

I just got my nose pierced and suddenly (meaning 2 days later) started to see an allergic reaction. It's bumpy and blister-y much like when I would wear my belt/necklace etc.

Is it still possible to have an allergic reaction to nickel free stainless steel? I changed it to a sterling silver ring. Should I see what happens with that or should I take it out and realize I shouldn't have a pierced nose?

Thanks.

Hi,
My wife has allergy problem. Most of the time problem comes if she does not sleep properly. When she wake up she will have sneezing and sneezing. when she sneee it makes lot of noise. She is pregnent also, so I affraid to give her any medicine. doctor also did not recoment any medicine though.
One more thing we observed that she will have allergy problem inside the apartment. we lived in three states in US and it happenes every time. may be due to carpet or walls.
we also tried couple of room freshner, but no help.

Any suggestion is welcomed.

Is it possible to become lactose intolerant at age 13? Im 13 years old and for a while my stomach hasn't been feeling right and my friend brought up that I might be lactose intolerant like her. It runs in my family too I think, as my uncle is lactose intolerant. Is it possible to just develop an allergy to milk after being an infant?? Like not having it when you are an infant but developing it afterwards??

My grandson (aged 10) is travelling to France on a camping holiday. He has a severe nut allergy to several nut types. Can anybody tell us if food over there has nut warnings, and offer any advice on travelling and eating in France for a person with allergies.

Is that in my mind or does it happen to other people?

Its got to be way off the usual scale. Something like Dormice, or Cornish pasties.

Also, why is it that it happened later instead of earlier? Hope that makes sense.

I have severe environmental and food allergies. I am also breastfeeding my 3 month old son and suffering through the summer. Today I am going to get new tests done to see exactly what I am allergic to environmentally (a few years ago I was allergic to 24 out of the 27 things they tested me for and had to give me a shot to stop the reactions before I went into anaphylaxis). I also received a shot to help with my allergies that lasted about 3 months while I started my desensitization process (taking 4 shots a week). Is it safe for me to take the shot that helped for 3 months while breastfeeding ? It wasn't kenelog (or however you spell it) it was something else...which I can't remember the name.

I take Allegra, but sometime it just isn't good enough. I do live in Texas and that might be part of my problem. I think everyone here has allergies. Anyway, do you have any advice for me?

Just curious, this is weird. My dog escaped and I tramped through some poison ivy before catching her. When I caught up with her, I kneeled down on the neighbors fresh cut lawn. About 15 minutes later, my legs were itchy and covered in red lines and speckles that were beginning to puff up. I went upstairs and washed them with dish detergent to get the plant oils off of me.
I am now completely fine and there is no trace whatever of any irritation. I have been exposed to poison ivy in the past with no rash and only got it once where one of the kids stepped on my arm really hard. However, grass has made me a little bit itchy in the past as well. Obviously I come into contact with grass pretty often though.
So, did I save myself from poison ivy by washing with the detergent or was it just from the grass?

I know it sounds wierd, but I'm allergic to the cold. In the winter I get hives if I don't stay warm (especially when I go skiing) and even in the SUMMER if I go swimming in lake water I start hiving and I've had hypothermia twice (both times in the summer from cold lake water) and have been sent to the emergencey room once. I have gone to my doctor and I am allergic to cold, so I got an Epi Pen.

My question is: Is there any type of "body glove" that keeps you warm in the water? I don't want a heavy suit like what divers wear or just a coverup, but just something that will keep me warm when I go in the water. Thank you in advance!

My wife has an allergic reaction to pretty much any bandage-type of material with adhesive, tape, etc. She breaks out in a bright red rash wherever the stuff sits on her skin. Is there a brand that can help her avoid that, or any alternatives to adhesive?

Not too long ago I was tested for various allergies and found that I am really not allergic to anything. However, whenever I get to work (and I work in an office) I start sneezing throughout the day and my throat starts to hurt, but when I get back home, I start to feel all better again...What would cause this?

I wonder if someone can help me out at least put my mind at ease a little bit. For the past couple of months every medication I take makes me hallucinate with axiety, rapid heart rate and paranoia. It started off with vicodin I had a horrible tooth infection and had to get a root canal the doctor prescribed me vidoin 2 times a day for the pain the day befre and the day after the root canal. Let me just say, I dont understand how people can get addicted to this stuff. Its the most nasty, horrid stuff in the world. I ended up hallucinating and I asked the doctor about it he acted like it was normal. Then a month later I had a awful flu so I took Nyquil and again same thing happend.. I started to hallucinate, my heart rate was through the roof and I was having a horrible anxiety attack. Could I just be sensitive to the drugs? Or can they just be allergic reactions? I am the kind of person who will get drunk off of half a drink and probably pass out after a whole drink. I have no tolerance

i notice that whenever i eat (most) fresh fruits i get an itchy and uncomfortable feeling in my throat when i swallow. i also get tightness, itching, and ulcers on my lips. (all symptoms pass within a half-hour or less). these symptoms appear whenever i eat fresh apples, watermelon, peaches, strawberries, and some others. this makes it very hard to enjoy eating fresh fruit. is this an allergy, and how serious? is there any treatments that help this? thanks!

I like to swim laps at the local pool. I never had a problem with this before but now everytime I swim my nose starts running and i start sneezing uncontrollably. My face also feels burned after swimming. I'm not sure what to do about this problem bc i really want to swim my laps and that's the only pool around this area.

Also I take a shower and wash off everytime after i swim..
I'm just wondering if there is any lotion or any herb that could prevent this from happening.

I do not like taking medications, so I'd rather find something natural. Also I've tried putting "Cetaphil" lotion on my face before I swim, but it still happens.

Is there anything that can help? Also, does anyone know why i would have an allergic reaction now and not before [about a year ago]?

I've been having really bad allergies for the past week, and I've been sucking on cough drops constantly. I even sleep with one in my mouth. Now I have white spot on one half of the back of my throat and my tongue's taste buds are really bright red. Is this from the cough drops? My throat doesn't hurt at all.
