I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide - I was prescribed it for acne when I was about 14 and no sooner had I put the cream on my face than it went bright red and hot. So next time I went to the doctor's, I told him - the answer I got was 'Well, it's the best thing we can give you for acne, we'll try you on half the strength' and it did it again. And I always get given tablets, which I can't swallow to save my life. Fortunately I have now started to grow out of it (about time, too after twelve years) so if I get spotty now I put a bit of tea tree oil on - I tried peppermint but it makes my eyes stream. My sister is very allergic to peanuts - her eyes go red and swollen.

No Puss, not as far as I know. I love shellfish and can eat them without problems, but I don't often eat other fish because I don't like them much. At first we thought it was just a 'bad' fish, but I have reacted on a couple of occasions with severe stomach cramps and breathing difficulties. Not an anaphalactic shock like my grandaughter had after eating cashew nuts (she now always carries an adrenalin pen) because I had no swelling or redness. I always thought I could eat anything - just goes to show............. Sue xx

Penicillin and Asda extra special sliced bread! I only wish that I could narrow down which ingredient it is in the bread. First time I had a reaction to the bread I ended up getting anti histamine injection and anti sickness injection in my bum from a doctor who was about 12 (OK he may have been a bit older but certainly not old enough to be out of short trousers!) Problem was, I didn't realise it was the bread that gave me the reaction. A couple of weeks later my OH made me a slice of toast and as I started to chew it I felt my throat start iritating. Thankfully I realised immediately what the problem was and downed a couple of piriton straight away.
