Foods I have tested allergic to: Peanuts, soy, cows milk, tomatoes, carrots, apples, artichokes, peppers, lentils, chicken, wheat, celery, white beans, pyrethrum (pesticide) used on some foods. I buy organic everything. I am more allergic to pyrethrum than to anything else. Other allergies diagnosed - Yellow Jacket, White faced hornet, horses, dogs, cats, dust mites, mold, 11 different grasses and pollens, and also tobacco smoke. I also have had a diagnosed allergic reaction to the dye used for CAT scans. I carry an EpiPen mostly for the beesting allergy. The other allergies, while not nearly as life threatening pretty much combine to make life a lethargic, joyless, label reading, living hell.

Carol- has anyone ever suggested you strictly avoid chrysanthemums and their relatives (like asters, marigolds, etc.)? This is the source of the mixed pyrethrins used by most of the organic pest control companies. (A similar refined mixture is used by companies like Orkin upon request.)
Yowza! I mention this because I know that is often what we use (strips of these flowers) to organically control insect pests in our own gardens.
[img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/redface.gif[/img] I was so taken with Carol's pyrethrum allergy that I forgot momentarily to list our own! ( [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img])
Me: eczema, asthma (EI, mostly- has made an unexpected return to my life [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/frown.gif[/img] )DUSTMITES, rodents, latex (contact only, TG), pollens, Rhus (severe), yellowjacket venom, perfumes and dyes (too numerous to list) wool, molds, citrus, and egg (moderate).
DH: walnut (severe), soy (moderate), green beans, apples, numerous pollen and mold allergies as well.
DD: Peanut (anaphylaxis), egg, wheat, rye, oats, buckwheat, soy, dairy, rice, apple, and environmentals to go with eczema and reactive airways (coughs and wheezes with any dust or illness). Also has a second anaphylaxis trigger of uncertain origin.
I often wonder where my daughter got her allergies from. (Just kidding! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/wink.gif[/img] )
Look at it this way- at least we can LOOK outside in the spring and enjoy nature from the comfort of our barren and electrostatically filtered home [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img]

Corvallis Mom, thanks for the tip on marigolds. I knew to avoid chysanthemums. I used to work in a pesticide lab. (I developed processes for food-based baits). That is probably where the pyrethrum allergy came from, although I rarely worked with active ingredients. When I did, they were neurotoxins, like ivermectin, not pyrethrum. The allergist at the hospital was shocked at my test results, but nodded when I told him about my jobs. Also, my boyfriend gets asthma attacks from shrimp, coconut, and MSG. I haven't gotten him to a doctor - but I'm trying. I am not sure if it is sulfites or actual shrimp and coconut protein in his case. He has not been tested.
