...so hard to find out sometimes what the sensitivity is causes by, so true, Sue. even laundry detergent we bought .... safe enough for babies skin etc..and on the back of bottle mentions an ingredient that causes dermatitis...have to read the fine print; its years since had our walls washed and i remember years ago spring cleaning included washing walls..wonder if they harbour allergens... even am wondering about my eye drops; shampoo; I don't want to use the antihistamines cos of my chronic dry eyes etc... on the merry-go-round again!
ps read the ingredients, the ones in tiny writing, using magnifying glass! frightening... even toothpaste! h-e-l-p ! J.

Hi Valerie- I agree with you. Our world is now inundated by so many brands that carry so many chemicals that I think that we might never know a lot of causes. As Sue said, there are people who have year-round allergies. I'm thinking that after this past year of unseasonably warm temps there might be longer seasons that mesh into each other.
I have year-round allergies, but I'm not sure what they are. I take an Allegra year-round but as you stated that might not be a great idea given your dry eyes.
Not all antihistamines are drying. Have you asked your doctor for a recommendation about them?

I have allergies caused by sprays like windex, hair spray, face powder, room freshener. This might be aggravating you to the point of you being more sensitized which could let your allergies take over with a minor exposure of what you are actually allergic to. Often people believe that they are allergic to something but it could be a sensitivity rather than a true allergy that has a specific immune system function.
