Mold. It's monsoon season here, on a good day I can feel the rain coming (due to spores lifted up and transported by wind before the rain arrives here). In that case I directly pop an antihistamine. On bad days I'm too late with that, which results in itchy eyes (mostly), sneezing, snotting, etc. Monsoon season is bad, rest of the year I have little issues unless I walk into a mold infested place.
I'm allergic to cold temperatures. AMA...everyone does.
Do you live in a warm country?
Half the year, yes.
I know someone who is as well! They get a rash/hives. What about you?
That's me too. I get itchy, deep red hives at contact points and exposed areas. Its annoying but manageable.
If enough of me is exposed/come in contact with a trigger, I start to exhibit shock symptoms. Has only happened with swimming to date, but my allergy has gotten worse over time, so I expect I may experience some lightheadedness on a cold day in the future.
Bees/wasps/hornets, fresh cut grass, and capscasin.
