The things we're allergic to but they're kind of stupid things to be allergic to.

Mr.Bubbles bubble bath. That's it. As a child my grandmother would buy it for me and every time I got out of the bath my skin felt irritated and itchy and I, as a 7 year old would, assumed I just wasn't getting cleaned so I would use more to try and clean the irritation off. I've never looked at Mr.Bubbles the same.

I don't think it's stupid to be allergic to that. There are probably some really sus chemicals in there, like in many products.

I don't know if it was an allergy, as I don't have known ones, but I remember having had a weird reaction to some Yankee Candles, though not all (I have none of this with the vanilla flavoured ones, for example). My nose would start feeling stuffy and hot, as if I got a really bad cold, for some it could get a bit runny, and I'd have a slight headache and feel tired. The aromas are synthetic in there, so I suspect there was a substance in these that my body didn't agree with. Those are overpriced anyway, haven't bought any in a long time.

Every single perfume i've ever bought - but never immediately, only the following day am I absolutely noseclogged beyond belief and sneezing.

This leads to me trying testers, thinking "oh, this is okay!" and now I have perfume that I wear out of spite to myself cause I spent money on it. Nightmare.

Hayfever is probably the stupidest allergy, not only because it's literally being allergic to the outside, but because it's so common too. It's a cosmic joke that humans can turn allergic to the natural world for some reason.

Sulfamethoxazle

Being allergic to an entire class of antibiotics is no fun, especially if your initial reaction is delayed until you're 3 weeks into the treatment course and have a bit of difficulty telling if it's the drug or the thing being treated by the drug causing problems.

But in all seriousness, is funny i don't suffer from any allergies, because my mom is highly allergic to a lot of stuff, i guess i got that from my dad because he is not allergic to anything.

Now that i think of, i think i got my metabolism from him, he never get sick, he is lactose tolerant, no allergies, and he doesn't suffer from hungovers, neither i do (and i drink like half a gallon of whole milk as breakfast, i get drunk twice a week and the last time i got sick was from a simple cold back in november 2022) i guess i got extremely lucky for having such a resillient metabolism.

I'm not super allergic to it (and this is my only allergy) but it's the kind of ironic shit you're looking for:

Aloe vera gives me a rash... you know, the thing you put on rashes

Radiation. That shit should be giving us superpowers instead it unravels our DNA and makes it so that we fall apart :/ :njWojak::RedWojak:

perhaps it does give us superpowers, on an evolutionary timescale... just fucks us up short-term
