Thread Name: BS: Oddball allergies
Subject: RE: BS: Oddball allergies
I'm allergic to the cinna-mint flavor in Tom's of Maine toothpaste and mouthwash. They make great products, but the cinna-mint flavor makes my gums peel. (Not at all pleasant.)

I'm also allergic to carnations -- make me sneeze my head off, eyes water, etcet. Had one fellow I was engaged to a million years ago take that as a personal afront -- especially as I was also allergic to an aftershave sample he had tried. Yes, I did finally figure oujt that ultimately I was allergic to HIM. (But carnations still make me sneeze.)

Blue mussels, penicillan, benzol peroxide and a bunch of antibiotics, too -- worse reactions than sneezing!
