He didn't have a sever reaction, but he would get hives and rashes all those places you usually sweat, underarms, between his fingers and toes. His mom told me the doctor predicted he'd grow out of it around puberty. <br /><br />The funniest part was it never slowed him down. He still ran around, played sports and sweat like crazy. It just didn't seem to bother him.Willa Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03927280675070898523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-88437904890837535672011-09-05T16:15:45.980-05:002011-09-05T16:15:45.980-05:00Thanks, Harlie.

I have heard of a few of these allergies, but wow, I'm glad we never came across some of the others! Exercise induced asthma is more common than you think. Some folks can't take hot showers! And we used to do the ice cube test on some patients. Crazy stuff.<br />I suffer from the common grasses, weeds, and trees stuff, plus dust mites. Kind of makes me a year round sufferer. I know, TMI!<br />Thanks for another fun blog.Lynne Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156587180087372120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-1955985194471650572011-09-04T09:19:46.471-05:002011-09-04T09:19:46.471-05:00Nell: That had to be a frightening experience the ...Nell: That had to be a frightening experience the first time it happened...to have an allergy suddenly appear as an adult that hadn't been there before.Samantha Gentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764092383245823784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-12122892242879810572011-09-04T09:15:06.676-05:002011-09-04T09:15:06.676-05:00Jerrie: I hadn't heard of several of them, ei...Jerrie: I hadn't heard of several of them, either.
