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.

ph0rk: Wait, so she won't stop using lotions with the stuff, and they're still together?

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?

Get rid of it?

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

You need to get your nickel and latex-free ass to an ALLERGIST to get a proper diagnostic.

I'm gonna have to agree with those saying this woman is just a major biatch if she continues to wear something that can cause her husband to go into shock from exposure. . .

The whole latex allergy thing really sucks, especially in middle school, when in the mind of your peers, latex is used for one thing and one thing only. It made for a very uncomfortable year once word got out.

It also sucks to need to bring my own gloves to a doctor's office, just so I don't have to wait while they locate the 1 box that they have stashed somewhere.

On the plus side, if I ever have surgery, I'm automatically the first patient of the day due to the clean room requirements.

I can't cuddle with you honey, I'm allergic to the crap you smear on your face.

FTFY.

Labgrrl has multiple chemical allergies, latex being one of them. And I engage in activities that leave me covered with allergens when I get home.

So I take a damned shower.

He needs a divorce if his wife is that frigging selfish that she can't be bothered to read labels or wash off what might hurt her husband.

(Dollar General generic aloe vera lotion has no PEG's)

I'm allergic to ugly bags of mostly water.

ph0rk: Wait, so she won't stop using lotions with the stuff, and they're still together?

No. There are plenty of decent lotions available, she just might have to get off her lazy ass and find them. Many people are allergic to that cheap chemical crap; the smell alone is annoying - AXE being a prime example.
MrS used to use Irish Spring soap; I FTFH.

Yes, that's what I mean. It's called an obvious antecedent.

By the way, you appear not to be a fan of commas, if you'd really like to go there.

Stavr0: redqueenmeg: I would love to know why those docs were so anti-diagnosing-allergy.

Um, thanks. In college I could only see student health services. And before that I went to my primary care physician as always. How was I to know at age twelve that it might be an allergy?

Oh, I was supposed to know more than the doc. Right.

Allergies can be odd. When I was four months pregnant, my eyes and lips began to periodically swell and get all sorts of nasty. A bunch of allergy tests later, I'm significantly allergic to shrimp and lobster (knew that) and mildly allergic to thimerosal. None of these explain what's up with my face. The hubby was kind enough to put up with months of me omitting every cleaning and body product in the house to try to find the cause.

And this woman is quite a douche. There are products available without PEGs. They're harder to find, and tend to be more expensive, but it's her husband. She can also just stop slathering herself in crap.

♫I've... grown allergic to her faaaaaaaaaaaace...

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!
I've grown allergic to her face.
She almost makes my heartbeat end.
I've grown allergic to the potions that
She uses in her lotions.
Her gels, her creams,
Her oils, sunscreens
Are deadly poison to me now.
No breathing out or breathing in.
I was relatively healthy and alive before we met;
Surely I could always be that way again-
And yet
I've grown allergic to her hair;
Allergic to her skin;
Allergic to her face.

Only when they are required. The short sentence didn't warrant it and was easily readable.

Don't need to get all butthurt here, I just mentioned that your statement was not very well structure and hard to read, and wanted to be be sure I understood you right.

Holy crap whatta biatch. Just use Aveeno. It works fine and doesn't have that crap he's allergic to in it.

I'm allergic to being shot in the face. It gives me a rash.

This.

Seriously, given the choice between "skin cream" and "healthy, safe husband"... she picks skin cream?

Bingo, there are very few people on Earth that need to wear skin cream to live.

I get dry skin a lot, but i've gone weeks without skin cream, so unless she has a massive skin disorder, why not just stop using the creams?
