[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 500176, member: 245"] Honey is one of the things I'm most allergic to. My brother calls me 'the freak of nature' because I'm allergic to just about everything. I can't eat fish or fowl. No legumes (including peas and peanuts), nothing with wheat or wheat flour, no rice, no prepared jams or jellies. Its actually a pretty long list. Outside, I have hay fever to grass, pollen, snow mold, hay, grain dust, saw dust. I'm allergic to most animals including horses, cats and dogs, with cattle being the one notable exception. Even cutting strings on the bales can give me a bad rash some days and on windy days, I always make sure I'm upwind of the hay dust. I take a pile of medication for it and even with all the things I'm allergic to in the country, the air is still cleaner where I live than in most towns or cities where somebody is forever mowing their lawn. Oddly enough, even though I'm sneezing, wheezing or itchy on a fairly regular basis, the worst thing I find with it is that its difficult to socialize much when you are like this. Most people have at least one house pet so you can't go there without your eyes turning all red and itchy looking. Also, people eat alot of chicken and fish. Most times I try not to mention it. People are very good at being accomodating but when you give them this big long list of things you can't eat, it makes it difficult for them to make a meal. However, if I don't say anything, I often end up sitting down to a nice plate full of potatoes or turnips or corn, which gets you a few odd looks. Then you tell the people that you are allergic and they apologize all over the place. Its just really awkward all the way around. :roll: [/QUOTE]
