Is my boyfriend allergic to me?
April 17, 2003

Can one person be allergic to another? My new boyfriend is having allergic reactions to me (itchy eyes and nose, itching all over and wheezing) whenever I am near him. We have eliminated all of my cologne, hair products and I am even washing my hair and my clothes with his products. It seems to worsen when we get more physical and/or he is near my hair. -- Linda, California

I've been taught that while a person may be allergic to an animal, or an animal to a person, two of the same species (two dogs, two humans, etc.) are not allergic to each other.

I noticed your email address includes the word "puppy." If you have a dog, this may be the problem. For more information, click here.
