When you do have an allergic reaction to something, what type of reactions do you have?

Rashes? Itching? Swelling?

Does the sun ever bother anyone? I have heard some people tell me they're allergic to the sun!! If this has ever been one of your complaints of allergens, please tell me about it!

Hi Teri,
I get rashes and itchiness from strawberries, welts and abdominal pains from sulfa drugs, intense migraines from codeine. My mom in law swears that she is allergic to the sun though I personally believe that it is more of an intolerance. She doesn't break out, she just gets very light headed......unless that can be a sign of sun allergy?

Hi Sherry!

I found a very interesting article on sun 'allergies' that you might like to read. I hope you're having a great summer - just stay away from those strawberries! Hugs, Teri
