Chances are you will have a different set of symptoms, depending on what your allergens  are. There are many common allergens:  Substances that are in the air such as pollen, pet dander (which is what causes people to be allergic to dogs and/or cats), dust mites, and mold will often cause a stuffy nose, coughing and sneezing. Bee or wasp stings will cause swelling, pain, itching, and in extreme cases, possibly anaphylactic shock. Foods such as peanuts, other nuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, eggs, milk may cause digestive problems like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea or even anaphylactic shock. Medications like penicillin often cause systemic reactions including an itchy rash, hives, or anaphylactic shock.  Latex or other things that touch your skin may cause local irritation including a rash, hives, itching, blisters or peeling. Allergic-like reactions are even possible to extreme heat, extreme cold, sunlight, or friction on the skin. If you are having trouble determining what your allergies are, your doctor can conduct tests to help figure it out.  During a skin test or prick test the doctor will put a tiny amount of suspected allergens under your skin and then watch to see if you react with redness and swelling. A blood test will allow the doctor to evaluate whether your body is reacting with an immune response to particular allergens. This should be done under the supervision of a doctor.  If you have suspicion of what you might be allergic to, eliminate it from your diet. If that was the source, your symptoms should improve. Your doctor may ask you to eat it again, to see if your symptoms return. This would help confirm that it was the source. Keeping a food diary during this process can help you and your doctor keep track of your symptoms and detect any other possible allergens you might still be exposed to.
