Foodwise, I'm violently allergic to:
1. all poultry meat - the worst by far
2. much seafood - calamari, mussels and probably oysters too (not brave enough to try) and certain types of fish like sole
3. certain nuts - pistachios and cashews
Also: some unknown foods (probably additives) which cause similar symptoms.
All result in severe upper back pain, mouth watering and nausea within minutes, and can last up to an hour. Occasionally vomiting - all symptoms disappear quickly after vomiting.
I'm also severely allergic to cats - short and long-haired cat hair gives me big puffy red eyes, and cat scratches makes the surrounding skin swell up immensely.
I also get chronic hay fever from pollen if untreated. Currently using nasonex (nasal spray) which has eliminated it.
I don't know anybody that has allergies like mine, I've been told by my GP that they're common but I don't think so. Is this known? Are there any other things which I could be allergic to?
