    Orange juice always seemed to give me mouth ulcers as a child. Hate the stuff, so no idea if it has passed or not. :)

    It's an oil extracted from wool. Used a lot in soap, hand creams etc.

    I didn't think i was allergic to anything, but at work last year i accidentally used an ant spray instead of normal cleaning spray and my cheeks went bright read for an hour or so, so maybe i was allergic to that.

    Oranges and cow milk, as far as I know. Not big allergies, nothing will happen to me if I drink a glass, but it's best to avoid them as much as possible.

    Also I think I might me allergic to wool; it irritates my skin too much.

    Penicillin and lanolin.

    Also, I seem to have lovely reactions to Windolene (or any kind of glass cleaner) involving swelling and fire engine redness. Don't know what causes it though.
