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.
