I do, I have indoor and outdoor allergies. And food allergies too.
Let's see, I am lactose intolerant. I am allergic to oranges, tomatoes,
kiwi, the dye red 40, detergents (including detergent in some contact
solution), aspirin (things like it). Some things I just put up with and
others I have medicine for. I am also allergic to nickel and animals and
smoke (any kind of smoke, either from a cigarette or from a fireplace. I
just decided I was some kind of weirdo.
