!Allergy!

OnyxCougar · 06-30-2003, 04:25 PM

When I was little, around age 5, I was allergic to all dairy products, most types of wheat and wheat products, chocolate, mustard seeds, 56 different types of grass/pollen/ragweed, animal dander, and dust. Ingestion of even a tablespoon or 5 minutes around the airborne stuff would trigger a massive asthma attack, occasionally only treatable by a shot of adrenaline and albuterol in a nebulizer for 15 minutes.

Needless to say, every meal was an adventure.

After many years of weekly "desensitization" shots, I am now able to eat anything I want. My only issues now are hayfever and cat fur. Taking a sudafed clears it right up, tho.

So you can grow out of allergies.
