    anything outdoors - pollen, grass, trees, etc. I'm allergic to pet dander - although I think I might be getting better with cats. I'm allergic to bee stings. And one really weird thing - black pepper...yeah don't ask haha

    I'm not giving out advice, Im talking about my own experience and what I decided to do.

    All I know is that when I was in constant treatment, sometimes I missed school for a whole week because of allergies, I would go to the doctor probably 3 times a week, to 2 doctors. My ophthalmologist and my allergist. I was using nasall spray, taking allergy medicine and my eye drops. There was always something going on, yes it kept me from doing things I wanted to do. Now I no longer pay attention to when Im sneezing 20 times a day or my eyes are itchy, it doesnt get as bad, so no it doesnt keep me from doing anything. I know how uncomfortable it is, of course yours might be worse, who knows, I even needed a corneal transplant when I was 15 of how much I messed up my eyes, but now I just dont do anything and it's better for me. It's not like Im comfortable 24/7, but I've never been, you get used to it.

    Cats and some other stuff, but being allergic to cats really sucks cause I've got one (I found out I was allergic one year after getting my kitty) and now it's too late to give her away. It'd break my hear. Even though my doctor says I'm allergic to cats a lot, I have some problems only when she sleeps in my bed whole night. Then I sneeze, but she usually leaves the house in the evening and returns in the morning, so it is fine.

    Actually, exposing yourself to that allergen so often is probably really good for your allergies. You could develop an immunity to cat dander after awhile. That's how I expect my soy allergy became so minor, I had a lot of exposure to it in school (the burgers are either 100% or a high percentage anyway soy), I had an allergic reaction every Friday afternoon without fail for a couple of years. Everyone just thought it was a coincidence that I'd get sick every Friday afternoon, but didn't correlate that with it being burger day in the cafeteria. And then I became a vegetarian and ate a lot of fake soy meat for 3 years. So every now and then, I notice a small reaction to soy, but it's never anything big.

    i have no flipping clue what I'm allergic to, except for cats. I know I'm allergic to those fucking things because some mornings I'll wake up with one laying on my chest and I sneeze. Fcuking pain in the ass.

    Kinky, how long does the immunity take? I've had my feline for four years and I haven't developed any immunity yet.

    I really couldn't tell you, and I'm sure it varies with different cases and different degrees of allergies. Like I wouldn't suggest Face Eater sit in a room full of allergens all day because he has them to a pretty severe degree. But my mom had cat allergies until we got our cats and it took a few years of sniffling and such, but now she doesn't have a problem at all with cat allergies.

    That's exactly how the shots works, they start with a small dose of the allergen you're allergic too and they slowly increase it to the point that you're "immune".
