Everyone is intolerant to pollen, dust and cat/dog - (animal) dander. It is a trend doctors have adopted of late diagnoising these things as 'allergies'. It makes me laugh when people say they're 'allergic' to them. These substances coat the lungs and agitate the sinuses. Some are a little more tolerant of these substances but given enough exposure the result will always be same: rejection symptoms.
It's like 2 people sitting in a house that is burning down around them while one says to the other "Unlike you I am not allergic to this toxic smoke so it won't kill me".

The bad thing about wasps is... they can keep stinging and stinging unlike bees who die after one sting. So many stings = really really really bloated fat dave who floats in water

[/QB][/QUOTE]tell me about it (the keep stinging part) I once got a wasp down the back of my t-shirt somehow. I suddenly felt this sharp pain at the top of my back, and didn't know what it was. Then I kept going and felt a sharp pain in the middle of my back, then I guessed something must be stinging me. I shook my t-shirt then kept going. Then I felt a sharp sting at the bottom of my back. Then I took my t-shirt off and found a half-dead wasp. The bastard got me thrice but each time with slightly less venom so I had 3 sting marks of decreasing size in a line down my back

I had some allergy testing done after I had a bad allergic reaction and could hardly breath. Turns out that I am allergic to ALL plants and animals. My highest animals allergy is cats and we have 3, not that I want them. Then my highest plant allergy is grass...when i did farm working i was lifting bails of hay and it scratched and cut up my arms and they swole right up and i was having problesm breathing so I had to go the hospital for some oxygen and an allergy shot.

I'm not allergic to anything since I'm never sneezy or sniffly. I don't like people who are though - they annoy me. They're nearly always delicate and overly-genteel.
