I have a delayed food allergy, very hard to pin down what things, I know everyone is different, but a list of say “this food or pesticide has often caused this symptom” would be really helpfull.
Mine are lip itching, severe headache and hot localized welt/hive/bumps only on my face….if this sounds simular, I would like to know.

The 8 most common food allergies are: fish, shellfish, treenuts, peanuts, dairy, wheat, egg, and soy.

Try keeping a food diary. Write down everything you eat, what symptoms you get and when they start. Do this for several days and see if you notice a pattern.

You should find an allergist and be tested as well.

Question by HN: How was gonorrhea treated “BEFORE sulfa drugs (1937), and what were the lifelong effects on the sufferer?
That is the World War “ONE” – 1920s period. Sulfa drugs were not available until 1937. Please don’t answer unless you are knowledgeable about this issue and period in medicine. Thank you for answers.

Generally only men were treated. The most grotesque treatment involved inserting a heated metal rod into the urethra. I guess to make sure that it stayed open so urine could pass while the debilitating effects of the disease attacked the brain.

Question by Amino Acid: What are the “symptoms” of a “photographic” memory?
I can remember so many things with so many “odd”, specific details. When I remember things, I usually see people or things exactly as they were. I never knew if I had a “photographic” memory. Share your experiences, and I’ll compare!

My daughter has one. She can read something a year or even 4 years ago and can tell you what happen on a certain of a book. She also can remember what she has seen over 5 years ago if we go there again. But never did anything about it. She even took a test when she was in kindergarden and they were even amazed at her. But said she failed the test on one answer, because she answered bear instead of lion, when they ask her what growls? Sure sounds like it to me.
