Go get yourself tested at an allergists. It's relatively cheap.
Dust mite allergies are extremely common, and dust mites are hard to see. They look like dust.
Whatever it is, it could be an environmental allergy.
One place I did JiuJitsu at had a guy with a specific type of soap allergy and it was being activated from other people's Gi's.
Allergies suck. I'm eternally grateful I don't have a peanut allergy; that always sounds like a living hell. Imagine being afraid every time you get on a plane that someone brought peanuts with them, and you're going to die because some molecules got into the air recycling system and you breathed them.
All I have is grass allergies. And pot makes my nauseous; I put that in the "allergy" column, too.
Yeah these days it's literally just a blood sample and it tells you everything you're allergic for. Everyone should do a test even if you don't have problems right now it might save your life or at least make it easier at some point.
Really? I went to an allergist a couple of years ago, and she scratched me about 6 times with different things and looked to see how much it welted. Real old school.
Yup! I had the scratch test 10 years ago where nurse drew up a crossword board on my back and went at it with sample tubes but now blood test are just as effective.
