What breed of dog is worse for human allergies?
Common allergens from dogs that cause allergic responses in people are the proteins found in their dander (dandruff), saliva, and sometimes in their urine. Also, some dogs in some breeds are not as allergen free as others in the same breed, therefore, a trial with the allergic person and the dog closely together for a period of time is the best method to use to determine if the dog is one that the allergic person can live with.
Certain breeds are known to be problematic for those with allergies to dogs. These breeds include:
- Afghan Hounds
- Basset Hounds
- Cocker Spaniels
- Dachshunds
- Doberman Pinschers
- German Shepherds
- Irish Setters
- Springer Spaniels
See the related question below for information about breeds that many people with allergies are able to live with.

Who has heard of jojoba oil triggering a peanut allergy?
I just bought and used a line of Aussie Shampoo that contains Jojoba extract and had a major allergic reaction. I can not say with 100% certainty this ingredient caused the reaction but the shampoo is the only new addition to my normal routine and I have never had an allergic reaction before. I was just at Canyon Ranch Spa in Las Vegas.. I received a massage and minutes afterwards I had a violent reaction.. My head swelled up, my eyes and ears closed, my nose become stuffed and runny.. I had a swelling and a rash over my entire body.. We were very fearful that my throat would close.. I immdediately took a Benadrul however, it did not help.. I was rushed to the emergency room where I received steriods and other meds through an IV.. About three hours later I was released from the hospital.. It took another day for my eye to go completely down.. The doctor gave me a prescription for 10 days worth of steriods.. However, I took them for one day.. My biggest concern was that since there was in an oil it would stick to my skin.. But I swam for the entire next day and felt confident there was no more oil on me.. The next day I called Canyun Ranch and they told me the contents of the oils used during my massage.. Since there oils are all natural and contain few ingrediants, I was able to say with confidence Jojaba is the only thing I have not ingested.. This is my first search for jojaba allergies, will write back if I find anything else. ***Hello I have some information to add to the above persons comment:
I have a severe peanut allergy and I am able to use jojoba oil without a problem. (I even put in on my lips)
Jojoba oil comes from the seed of the plant and its not really an oil, its a wax.
One thing it does have similar to peanut is that it naturally contains Eicosanic acid; (Eicosanoic acid; Arachidinic acid; n-Eicosanoic Acid;) This acid is found in fish oil and other vegetable oils. If you using any type of product make sure that there is no cross-contamination

Why shouldn't you wear Strong perfume when cooking?
Wearing strong perfume in any circumstances is old school. A single bottle of perfume is made up of hundreds of chemicals. Many people are sensitive to those chemicals that can trigger headaches and congestion. Others are simply nauseated because what seems to smell wonderful to you might smell disgusting to someone else. Strong perfume hijacks all the air in the room and takes away from the food being prepared when it permeates the kitchen. If you must wear perfume it should be applied in such small amounts that only you can smell it.

What is allergic reaction to eating raw bamboo?
There are many possible allergic reactions a person can have. Some of the most common are rash, hives (bumps, which can be itchy, that appear on the skin, but are not always accompanied by a rash), cough; stomach pains, psychological changes; headache, difficulty breathing; flushing or redness of the skin of the face or neck (almost as if the person is badly blushing); abnormal heart beat, wheezing, and swelling of any part of the face or neck. Any of those symptoms may occur during an allergic reaction to bamboo, or to many other things.
If you notice any of those, or anything not listed, unexpectedly happening, seek treatment because there is a chance that a mild reaction could turn into a severe one if ignored.
cg part#1| Classic galactosemia (CG) is an autosomal recessive disorder of galactose metabolism that affects approximately 1/50,000 live births in the USA. Following exposure to milk, which contains large quantities of galactose, affected infants may become seriously ill. Early identification by newborn screening with immediate dietary galactose restriction minimizes or prevents the potentially lethal acute symptoms of CG. However, more than half of individuals with CG still experience long-term complications including cognitive disability, behavioral problems, and speech impairment. Anecdotal reports have also suggested frequent gastrointestinal (GI) problems, but this outcome has not been systematically addressed. In this study we explored the prevalence of GI symptoms among 183 children and adults with CG (cases) and 190 controls. Cases reported 4.5 times more frequent constipation (95% CI 1.8–11.5) and 4.2 times more frequent nausea (95% CI 1.2–15.5) than controls. Cases with genotypes predicting residual GALT activity reported less frequent constipation than cases without predicted GALT activity but this difference was not statistically significant. Because the rigor of dietary galactose restriction varies among individuals with galactosemia, we further tested whether GI symptoms associated with diet in infancy. Though constipation was almost four times as common among cases reporting a more restrictive diet in infancy, this difference was not statistically significant. These data confirm that certain GI symptoms are more common in classic galactosemia compared to controls and suggest that future studies should investigate associations with residual GALT activity and dietary galactose restriction in early life.

Classic galactosemia (CG) results from profound deficiency of galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) activity and affects approximately 1/50,000 live births in the USA (Pyhtila et al. 2015). Following exposure to milk, which contains large quantities of galactose, affected infants can become seriously ill and die if not immediately switched to a low-galactose formula (Berry 2014). Early identification by newborn screening and rapid dietary intervention generally prevents or resolves the potentially lethal acute symptoms of CG (Berry 2014).
If basil makes your nose itch does that mean you're allergic to it?
Anything is possible, but fresh basil is very strong, and like black pepper (although they do not have the same chemical makeup) the nose may perceive it as a mild irritant.
Is it possible to be allergic to medicine?
