I am allergic to roaches!

Palor · 03-15-2009, 07:15 PM

So I was cleaning my Orangehead roaches home and one got on me and was running around an a few minutes later I look like this.

Aww...never had a reaction before?

I'm allergic to certain corals in my fish tank. My hands/arms go numb, and tingly with terrible pain.

I'll take those bumps over wondering why my arm feels like it's being stabbed!

i'd go to the doctor to verify. Allergies are finicky things.

I've gotten allergic reactions like that, too. One of the docs gave me a small bottle of liquid Benadryl to use on bee stings and mosquito bites and small allergic reactions like that. TOTALLY DO NOT DO THAT unless the doc says its ok, but it works for me.

*Disclaimer - I ain't no doctor so any and all persons who follow methods from my experience be warned. You could end up worse off than you were!!

Welts went away after a few hours, just some red spots now. At least it didn't last long.

That was strange. Never had this happen before?

Wow i have never heard of that before with roaches make sure you wear long sleeve shirts from now on..

Holy smokes. I'm not allergic to anything. But can you imagine being allergic to something you like, such as a bearded dragon. Or an insect lover to insects?? That must suck.

Oh, it's not that bad!

I'm really allergic to cats and dogs, and i've got five cats and one dog!

I just take lots of allergy medicines and wash my hands often!

It would take a LOT more than a sniffly nose and watery eyes to make me give up my loved ones!
