These days the only allergies I know of are pollen and bananas. I've gotten better with pollen over the years, though. When I was a kid I could barely breathe through my nose during the spring/summer, but recently I've stopped having to take any allergy pills at all to counteract it. I used to love bananas when I was really young, but then they started causing me to break out in hives. When I tried one a couple years ago I didn't get any hives, but about 15 minutes after eating it I felt like I was being punched in the stomach repeatedly. Doubt I'll bother with that experiment again.
I had a really strange allergy to exercising right after eating back in elementary school. It was either right before I entered Kindergarten or right after when I went into anaphylactic shock twice after eating dinner and playing outside for awhile (though I only remember one of the times) and a specialist informed us that was the cause. According to her, I had to wait 2-3 hours after eating or drinking anything other than water before I could do any exercise without risk. It made school rather inconvenient since in first grade my recess time was scheduled immediately after lunch, so while everyone else went out to play I went to the library with a packet of worksheets and such. It wasn't as boring as it sounds, but it still sucked.
I also had to carry around an EpiPen for that, which freaked people out tremendously. My dad had to come in and tell my teachers how to use it every year in case of an emergency, and the case my grandfather made for it looked like a knife case so other kids would periodically report me for having a weapon. The after-school daycare instructors were extremely paranoid too. On one occassion they took us to a park, and I got a bit sweaty since it was a really hot day. Out of nowhere they dumped a bucket of ice water on me and wanted to rush me to the hospital. Needless to say, I didn't like them much.
