I'm lucky to be one of the few people without allergies, except for the occasional bout of hayfever. Allergies are a nuisance for so many people, and it seems like there are an unlimited amount of culprits.

Did you ever wonder what the top allergens are? Everyday Health has come up with the top offenders:
  1. Mold
  2. Dust Mites
  3. Pollen
  4. Pet Dander
  5. Latex
  6. Insect stings
  7. Seafood
  8. Soy
  9. Peanuts
  10. Lactose
  11. Eggs
  12. Penicillin
Hmm, surprising. I didn't know that soy, eggs and latex were common allergies.
