Are you allergic to any foods?

I can't eat strawberries ( grow them for the family though) they smell so good. Also can't have kiwi, oranges and grapefruits. Sucks

It is kind of funny but my allergies change from decade to decade.  My initial years I had absolutely no allergies.  In my second decade I found out that I was allergic to scallops...didn't matter what kind....bay or sea scallops would leave blisters in my mouth and now in my fourth decade I can eat them. I was never allergic to any kind of animal.  I worked a few summers, in my teen years, as a horse trainer and cats were all over the place.  If I get near a cat or a horse now, I am forty something, My eyes puff up/nose gets runny/throat gets scratchy...what's up with that?  In the spring time the pollen from trees has started to shut me down.

It really is strange how allergies come and go. I have too many allergies to really even count. My family and joke that I am even "allergic to myself" because I have Lupus.

Thankfully I am not. I thought I was allergic to fig because I had eaten some in a salad then was sick that night. Then later had a lotion with it and the smell got me sick but I think it was b/c my mind put the smell w/that night together cause a few years later I was able to eat it fine

My oldest daughter also has problems with fruit. It gives her blisters every time she eats anything citrus.
