to the milk of human kindness.
I know someone who is allergic to buttons and toothpaste. The buttons have to be loose, and lying about to cause her to have a reaction, they are ok if they are sewed on. The toothpaste, she gaggs while brushing her own teeth, and god help her if she has to watch someone else brushing their teeth.
I also know someone who is allergic to cucumber and melon. Hmm, am sure there must be other things. Oh..my sister comes up in a rash if she touches monkeys, now don’t ask me how she found out about that one!
What kind of strange allergies or intolerances do you lot have, or know someone that has. I am expecting no reaction at all to this post for at least 24 hours, the boards are allergic to posters at the moment.
I am allergic to absolutely nothing . Well so far. I say I am allergic to grapefruit because I hate them.
I am severely allergic to watermelon. Stop breathing in fact. Have not had any for 27 years. Would love to have a slice. Ohhhhhhhhhh an bananas as well. Would die( excuse the pun, lol. ) to have a homemade banana pudding, or a peanutbutter and banana sandwich/sarnie, or just a plain ol fresh banana, but no way hosa.
Ohhh, you naughty peeps, bet you thought I meant something else!! lol

Speaking of toothpaste, why is it that their is flouride in tap water and it’s “safe to drink” but for the amount of flouride in a glass of water that is in the amount you would use to brush your teeth…it says “do not swallow” on the toothpaste tube. Flouride is a by product of Phosphorus.
Phosphorus is also found in fertilisers, detergents, nerve agents, friction matches, fireworks, pesticides, and explosives. The Nazi’s also gave flouride to people in the camps during the war, and is also linked to various forms of cancer. So remember folks, when brushing yout teeth with that lovely flouride paste, you are putting toxic waste in ya gob, yum yum scrub scrub :P . Damn American and Africans!
I’m allergic to Imperial Leather products.
got none that I know of. One girl that I used to work with seamed to be allergic to everything. Rubber bands, black pepper, red wine, dust etc etc, she was a right winey git.

I hate to be pedantic but those aren’t allergies, and I hate to see someone suffering with something unnecessarily. The button thing is an irrational fear or phobia and is not uncommon, and the toothbrushing thing is an overactive gag reflex, which people often exerience when they go to dentists. Both can be resolved with the help of a good hypnotherapist. I once worked with someone who had a more extreme version of the button thing, couldn’t bear to see buttons full stop. Her whole wardrobe was devoid of buttons, she couldn’t go on a date because the guy might weat a shirt with buttons on, and she was starting to skip work because people were wearing clothes with buttons. It was great to see her face when she came back to see me wearing a button-up skirt and a blouse with buttons, and to hear that she’s started dating and had a life back again.

The fluoride is the least of your worries – what about the sodium laurel sulphate, also used in washing up liquids and cleaning products to remove grease, and a known carcinogenic?? Let alone all the other nasty chemicals…..
My allergies:
Sodium Laurel Sulphate! Used in a lot of shampoos and shower gels, it makes my skin go dry and flakey and red raw – not a pretty sight.
Bell peppers make my body go on a massive purge in any way it can for days and days – last time a friend “jazzed up” a meal with some peppers and I found out too late, I spent 5 days being ill, then got taken into hospital with dehydration cos my body wouldn’t even accept water… :evil:
Mr sugarnspice decided a long time ago that he didnt like all the animal fat and assorted chemicals in his toiletries and that they made his skin dry and itchy. He got rid of all our aerosol products and changed to using a natural rock crystal deoderant and vegetarian soaps which are made from natural ingredients. I have to admit the soaps are lovely and smell really nice too and I can even wash my face with them which is something I have never been able to do in the past even with unscented soaps. He is now on a mission to replace our shampoo and conditioners and recently came home with a small brown bottle of what he says is nettle shampoo for us to try :shock:
