Ive noticed that I'm now allergic to eggs anything with egg in I either get sick or
my throat get ichy and my lips swell I read somewhere that if you allergic to birds you also develop an allergy to eggs. anyone notice this ? me curious

i am allergic to birds, pretty badly im miserable if i dont take my meds!! but im fine with eggs.
to my knowledge it is the feather dander in birds im allergic to

How are you with penicillin? Sometimes its not actually the egg that you're allergic to, it can be an antibiotic that the chickens are given that you could be allergic to.

I'm fine with penicllin. I'm only allergic to the birds feathers and dog and cat hair(all the things i love ). And egg white for the past few years . To they put antibiotics in free range eggs


Same here its that dander worst with cockaties and cockatoo's.

Depends on the chicken farm...If they sell them commercially then chances are they have some type of antibiotic periodically. However, I don't know what they do in Africa...But it wouldn't hurt to check it out.

So what are you planning on doing...are you going to just put up with the problem or are you going to do shots to desensitize yourself or what?

If you're getting a scratchy throat etc, you want to be very careful because thats close to some signs of anephelactic type reactions...Not a good thing. Been there done that with an allergy I have to hops so no beer for me...lol

I was googling and i found out its called bird-egg syndrome its cause by bird allergies . I'll find the link quite interesting .as to what I'll do just won't have egg anymore. Which also means no more chocolate mousse for me or nice tasting cakes cos my throat swells .

Eeeeek, that doesn't sound good Jen! Be careful!!

this is what i found


Abstract

An IgE-mediated hypersensitivity designated "bird-egg syndrome" occurs occasionally in adults after repeated exposure to birds (budgerigar, canary, parrot, etc.) mostly kept in the home. The bird-egg syndrome consists primarily of respiratory symptoms following exposure to bird, and secondarily of allergy symptoms after the ingestion of eggs. This syndrome displays a cross- sensitization to egg yolk and bird allergens (feathers, serum, droppings, and meat). This phenomenon underlines the importance of the sensitization via the respiratory route in food allergy. It could be distinguished from the common egg allergy in children. The pathomechanism of IgE-mediated bird-egg syndrome is also different from pigeon fancier's lung (a form of extrinsic allergic alveolitis), which is not a subject of the present data collection.
There are some differences in the clinical features of bird-egg syndrome and common egg allergy without sensitization to bird proteins: patients with bird-egg syndrome are typical adult patients with rhinoconjunctivitis and/or asthma due to bird allergy; the symptoms associated with ingestion of eggs usually include several target organs (digestive, cutaneous or respiratory); and the major allergens are the alpha-livetins (serum albumin) from the egg yolk proteins.
Molecular biological and allergenic properties of egg yolk allergens alpha-livetin (chicken serum albumin), apovitellenin I and VI are presented. Alpha-livetin is also present in avian meat and serum. It is assumed that livetins lead to the cross- sensitization between bird antigens, egg yolk, and chicken meat. Thus, egg yolk allergic individuals may have to avoid avian meat too. Up to now only little is known about the properties of feather allergens.

The present data collection reviews detailed information on the prevalence and symptoms of bird-egg syndrome as well as diagnostic features, sensitization patterns, and the occurrence of cross- reactivities in tabular form.


OI I FORGOT im allergic to dust mites

found this two links
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3192303 AND this one
http://foodallergies.about.com/od/eggaller...ggallergies.htm

I think everyone is allergic to dust mites.

You might also want to check into things like artifical sweetener etc. Some are made from egg whites...Also if you have a sensitivity to eggs you may have problems with some injections such as Flu shots etc because the serum is egg based. And with the H1N1 virus so active all over the world, It is most definitely derived from eggs.

My sister is allergic to eggs and she really reacts to artificial sweeteners so read your ingredient labels carefully.

Again, if your throat swells, I'd definitely be talking to your doctor about having a prescription for an epi pen and have it with you at all times...it could save your life.

I'll go to the doc in the new year inthe mean time dr google works well ps My mom was also saying the same thing about the flu injection and. Funny how they all connected bird feathers dust eggs whats next MEN!! Hehe
