I am MILDLY allergic (mostly the usualy sneeze/runny nose/ tearing eyes kind of allergy) to...
most wind-borne tree pollens (I testted max allergy to these at an allergist's office)
dust and the associated dust mites
animal danders (dog, cat, bird and horse) --- but NOT my cats' dander (I apparently acclimate)--- which means no feather pillows or down jackets or...
some molds (I break out into a rash on my arms when I pick veg from the mold that grows on the leaves of things like green beans)
and wool (I simply cannot wear wool next to my skin!)
and am sensitive to eggs (not a full-blow allergy but it does cause nasty symptoms if I eat an egg anywhere near soft-cooked!).
CL for "
Wheat
Barley
Milk
shellfish
pecans
cats (uh, I have 4, my bad!)
dogs (2 here)
birds (only 1! and its a pigeon, so hardly any dander at all!)
pollen (but just trees and weeds, lol)
dust
roaches
Lilies
sunflowers
work... o.k. maybe I made that up, but come on! My allergist did tell me NOT to clean my house or do yard work, as it would only make me sick. He's my favorite doc, EVER! He said all this in front of both of my kids, so I have witnesses, though he wouldn't write me a note. He also said I should live on the beach, but I haven't convinced my insurance company to cover one beach condo!
Interesting that you mentioned roaches. They are linked to the increased rates of asthma in inner city children.
You might want to read my note about my friend who tested allergic to timothy that I posted in reply to first visit to the allergist....

Hi Karla!
I have allergies to trees, dust mites and mold.
I like the allergy to office work and housework. Let's see if we can devise a test for that. I'm all for that LOL.
Thanks for visitng our board and please feel free to come again...
