My allergies are enough to be the legal drinking age! Whoo!

Well, I went to the allergist today. Interesting results. I suspected I was allergic to a few things, but good Lord!

Follow the cut for the full list:



Here's ALL of what I'm allergic to, in a convenient list.

Trees:

Elm
Hickory
Maple
Melaleuca -- huh?
Mulberry
Pepper
Pecan
Palm
Oak
Pine

Basically an entire frickin' forest.

Molds:

Epicoccum
Penicillium
Helminthosporium
Stemphylium

Environmntals:

Cat hair/dander -- yes, I'm allergic to my cats. Luckily it's not sever enough where I can still keep my babies... I just have to wash my sheets more often.
cat pelt -- whatever that is
cockroach-- basically their droppings. Eww.
dust mites - this was a given. I have to wear a mask when I dust.

Weeds:

Nettle

So that's 21 things I'm allergic to. The one I'm most upset about is the cat one. I'm not getting rid of my cats no matter what, so I opted for weekly shots. Not too bad. Kinda bums me out a little though.

Yeah, I was told to wash them in water hotter than 130 degrees F (or 54 degrees C). I didn't know about the tea tree oil. I use it on my blemishes and like how it works. I'll look into it for my sheets though, thanks!

You can also put it straight on your mattress and pillow, and in your vacuum cleaner's bag (um, get someone else to do that, or when it's fresh).

I need to find some somewhere. The stuff I use isn't easily dispensed willy-nilly and such. Plus, the bottle is kinda small.

|We have lots at health food stores.

I think we have some of them around here, I do believe...
