Do allergies go hand in hand?

Question

i'm highly allergic to bug bites, but not bee stings. Duct tape adhesive, but not glue. Cheez-its and pringles, but not other snack foods. and also polyester. I'm also lactose intolerant, which i guess explains the allergy to cheez-its, but they make me throw up, not get gassy. Do any of these things have something in common with each other? and is there any one else who is even allergic to this stuff?

Answer 1

Have you been to an allergist for skin testing? If you have insurance, most insurance plans will cover testing and even MOST of the cost of allergy injections.
I had a good friend who LOVED shrimp, was her favorite thing in the world. After the birth of her second child she became EXTREMELY allergic and has to carry around a "epi-pen" in case she is exposed. When we would go for Chinese food she would have to make sure whatever she was ordering was not fried in the same oil that shrimp was fried in, or her throat would close up.
By the way, when I had my skin testing done, I tested positive for CITRUS TREES which apparently all the allergist books say is not something that is physically possible for people to be allergic to.
Best of luck to you............ I really think you need a professional opinion here.

When you say you are allergic to bug bites but not bees, I was surprised. What is your definition of allergic as I have many allergies as well as intolerances. I have been in hospital early today (Australian time) I had to give my self a jab of adrenalin, when this didn't work, the ambulance officers gave me oxygen, as my levels went crazy, in hospital, another adrenalin, cortisone, antihistamine, and salbutamol to open my airways. After 4hrs I was allowed to come home This is allergic reaction. This time I was lucky as I only walked into a spiders web and not bitten, now the swelling has gone down, you can see the mark of the web, it is raised and small blisters. I am allergic to eggs, seafood(iodine) bees, wasps, and many man made drugs. I am full lactose intolerant(some people only have partial) which means if they have small amounts they can tolerate. My husband is asthmatic and pringles and cheezels give him a severe attack, the doctors says it is the high amounts of msg that set him off from these products, so the small amounts of cheese flavouring shouldn't give you a severe attack. I get to go to hospital often(hate it) I dont let them use sticky plasters(rashes), but micropore tape ok. Go get a proper allergy test and they will also explain the differences between allergy and intolerance's.

BTW lactose intolerance is not a true allergy; it is deficiency of lactase digestive enzyme which is needed to digest lactose.
As for the other things, I have no idea. Bugs that bite to suck blood, have something in the saliva to prevent blood clotting.... Polyester is a synthetic fabric made from petrochemicals, I think, and the duct tape adhesive probably is too. There are many kinds of glue.
Do these allergies stay constant over time, or do they change? Do you react to fermented foods/drinks? Multiple allergies, allergies to fermented foods, and allergies that change a lot, can be caused by candidaisis.
Very interesting.

I think you're just allergic to dairy procudt.
What's the deal with duct tape? I've never heard of that.
And the bug bite, I think it happened to be light venomous bug. And luckily for you, the bee stings are not venomous. If you're allergic to one bug, then you're allergic to all bug.

Answer 5

yeah i would say they all seem dairy ask your doctor next time to ask him about dairy
