Some of the weird allergies that might affect health are caused by some very common things. Allergies can affect anyone and it is very essential to identify what you are allergic to and find out the best available treatment for it.
- Kiss allergy: It may sound humorous that kisses can also trigger allergic reactions in humans. Real kisses can develop hives, rashes, itchy eyes, blisters on eyelids, puffy lips, wheezing and respiratory distress. A small peck on cheek does not pose any serious dangers but passionate kisses can. In order to prevent yourself from the risks of kiss allergy, one can take antihistamine tablets, topical creams, and other anti allergy medications. Besides medicines, one can also follow these simple steps such as brushing teeth, rinsing mouth and chewing gum properly before indulging into any type of kiss.
- Underwear Allergy: is that type of reaction in which skin develops rashes, itching and even blisters. The underwear allergy is very troublesome to the extent that it is painful while touching or rubbing that area. Anyone suffering from underwear allergy can get rid of it very easily and quickly. The main reason responsible for causing this type of allergy in both men and women could be the different types of fabrics used in making it such as polyester, cotton, latex etc. The best solution for avoiding this type of allergy is to use high quality, skin friendly and bacterial resistant underpants.

Banana Allergy: Banana is an edible fruit that can also result in allergic reactions after consuming it. The symptoms of this type of allergy include itching, swollen lips, hives, stomach infections, asthma and even a slight drop in blood pressure.

To identify this allergy, banana skin test along with a blood test can be undertaken. Once it is detected patients should avoid the intake of both fresh banana and banana based products. A banana free diet should be followed and anti-allergy medications can be also taken.
Footwear Allergy: is basically a type of inflammation that occurs when skin of the foot comes in contact with a particular substance such as rubber, chemicals used in tanning leather, adhesives and dyes. It results in red and swollen skin that can blister. To diagnose allergies caused by footwear, a patch testing is performed. In this type of test, small amounts of potential allergens are directly applied onto the skin with tape strips, which are removed after a span of two days. People with footwear allergy can be treated medically.
Egg Allergy: is one of the types of food allergy. It usually occurs within minutes to hours after consuming eggs in any form. The symptoms of egg allergy are wheezing, headache, nausea, stomachache, and itchy hives.

Allergies can be a downer, most of the time. They can give one a bad mood. It just feels so bad when you can't eat or do something you like. I guess footwear and egg allergies are quite common. Bananas? Seriously? Good thing there are ways to prevent or control allergic reactions. All it takes is caution and self-discipline.
