Because some people just CAN'T believe that people can be allergic to wool
and/or its by-products. I believe you. I'm also allergic to dust mites
(they're gross little creatures), plus the ones that exist on everyone's
skin. How about that one? I'm allergic to myself. To continue the list -
smoke.... ask me if I'm glad smoking has been banned just about everywhere.
The smoke includes ALL smoke - such as farmers burning stubble, smoke from a
campfire.... blah, blah. I'm allergic to pigeon feathers and DH keeps
pigeons.... so I don't go near the little dears. How about make-up? I'm
now a dowdy old woman because it seems all I can wear without my eyes
watering is lipstick. And the list goes on. I feel for you, and hear your
issues.

Hi Shelagh!
I BELIEVE her, I BELIEVE you, we 'all' were just ascertaining that it
was REALLY the wool is all, yeesh!
Speaking of, I won't tell you what's in lipstick, but believe me, if
you knew, even if you arene't allergic, you wouldn't want to put it on
your lips! :D
