If by "spiffy", you mean horribly debilitating, then yes.

Not to her but to crap she puts on her. But if she is a big enough biatch to keep using that stuff even when you will die from it, divorce time.

Seriously. Who keeps using a product they know will hurt their spouse? Also, if she is wearing it in bed and he can't even sit somewhere that someone who has been using the product has been, how can he sleep in the same bed with her?

People have bizarre allergies anymore. Who is allergic to cell phones and why?

I can't read this article because I'm allergic to stupidity.

Darren Young, 45, is allergic to polyethylene glycol -- a common ingredient used in many creams and body lotions, including the ones his wife uses

So, stop using those specific creams and lotions, biatch.

//why is this even news, when the solution is "Duh!!!"

When I was in college I told my old GF that I had a latex allergy. She want on the pill and I had more beer money.

Emptyjade: Who is allergic to cell phones and why?

I followed that link, and it was put down to nickel from decorative coatings on phones. They pretty much went out of their way not to cite any cases, so my BS-o-meter started acting up.

I've heard that excuse a million times.

I don't think I've ever seen any cosmetic product that didn't have PEG. It's kind of like soy and gluten when it comes to food. Almost everything contains it, and the ones that don't are utter crap and cost double.

Sounds like a double-bagger.

Water? Really!!!!

I think I know who loves who more...

Wait, so she won't stop using lotions with the stuff, and they're still together?

Is it that hard to find some lotion without polyethylene glycol?

Well, that's just creepy.

I'm allergic to goose down and my college boyfriend bought a new winter coat because of it. I was sorry he had to do that but it was a choice between that or not seeing me much for the entire Chicago winter. He made his choice. :)

Oh and by the way I AM allergic to nickel and latex and it's hard enough getting people to believe that. So I hope that anyone "lying" about it is really just joking about lying about it.

I don't think so. She could use some organics. I'm seeing references to "No PEGs" on some products online. Seems like maybe you can't shop from the discount bin but sometimes that's what's required. WTF. I can't believe this is such a big problem!

They're married. I think thoughts of having normal, repeated sex area foregone exclusion for the poor, dry-dicked motherfarker... Look, if you want sex, stay single. If you want to have your member atrophy and wither into dust, get married. Got it? Good...

I'm allergic to nickel. Found out the hard way... when I got my ear pierced (upper), and it reacted. Rather painfully. I've had to switch to titanium and stainless steel.

If something my significant other used resulted in an allergy, and he refused to stop using it, yea... why is this asshat still with her?

I don't use lotions and facecreams anyway, not except in extreme situations. But dear lord, to hate your spouse so much that you won't give them up?

That's a special kind of love right there.

You've shown weakness. Now your wife knows how to kill you. You fool!

Yech. Yeah, I found out when I was sixteen. I got my ears pierced when I was ten and spent SIX YEARS of docs telling me my piercings were just "infected" --they weren't--and that that was why they were so uncomfortable and unsightly.

I had to self-diagnose on the nickel and latex allergies. Docs could not figure either one out despite years of evidence, and came up with some rather embarrassing explanations in lieu of "you just can't use regular condoms." Astonishingly I have not had one problem since I stopped using them. *gasp*

I would love to know why those docs were so anti-diagnosing-allergy.

Tastes like burning.

"When it comes to bedtime, Sue doesn't need a headache as an excuse. She just says she has been using body lotion and it might kill me," he said."

that's one way to say i'm not in the mood!

The same reason doctors don't prescribe pain meds to younger patients.

With the latex allergy, I cannot comment. Over the past couple of years, I know anytime I have to get blood drawn, they always ask if I have the allergy. It is also part of most inpatient surveys.

Nickel... is just uncommon. Now, if you presented anecdotal evidence to the doctor and said "hey, I think I'm allergic to nickel", and your doc said, "no, no", that's one thing. If he just simply didn't test for it, that's another. My guess is he was busy looking for other allergies. Or like you said, thought it was infected.

I know when my ear swelled up, it did look like a nasty infection. Not justifying what you went through, six years is insane by any stretch. It took 10 years for my lupus diagnosis- so believe me, I can sympathize with your frustration.

Docs do funny things.

I have a allergy to antifreeze. Is this why my SO keeps telling me it really is very tasty in stir-fry?

To do what?

Get rid of it?

English isn't your major I hope as your sentence structure makes very little sense..

Did you mean:

I'm allergic to goose down. My college boyfriend who had a goose down coat, had to buy a new winter coat because of it. I was sorry he had to do that but it was a choice between that a new coat or not seeing me much for the entire Chicago winter. He made his choice. :)
