Yesterday we went to the San Diego Safari Park with some of our good friends. We had an excellent time exploring the new exhibits and also remembering the way things had been in years gone by. The weather was perfect and bees were everywhere gathering pollen as they flew from flower to flower.

I’m in tune to the buzzing bees and most often know where they are before others around me. Why? Because I’m allergic to bees. Severely. I have an anaphylactic reaction. I carry an EpiPen with me at all times. It’s a hassle but it would keep me alive if ever the need to use it arose.
How about you? Do you have any allergies?
Deborah says
Mold, sage brush.
Deborah says
Oh, and most metals.
Smellyann says
Nickel, and I used to be allergic to darn near everything in 2008, but I went to Europe that year and it all stopped. Totally weird!
Jennifer says
Dust! Which makes me hate cleaning even more when the dust flies!
Beth @ TheAngelForever says
I have seasonal allergies, bad cat/dog allergies, and recently developed a strange allergy to walnuts. I had a student once that was SO allergic to wasps that we were trained to use the EpiPen.

I used to be allergic to Tide, but not anymore.
Auntie E says
Bees, as well.
Kari says
I do not have any severe allergies that I know of…there is one medication that I’ve used in the past which gives me hives but that’s about it.
Vicki says
Nope, thank God!
Here’s Mine
Stacy Uncorked says
I am very lucky that I don’t have allergies. Well, except for aspartame or sucrose – I’m allergic to those which prohibits me from drinking or eating anything with them in it, because it means instant headache! ๐

I am to something, will have to get tested this coming spring. I was hoping moving from Florida to Japan would leave me with none but sadly something did bug me.
MSRheinlander says
Seasonal… which seem to get worse every year : (
Marie says
I tend to have allergies problems in the spring although not as bad as my poor son who has a lot of problems. So nothing too serious for me ๐
