- On that note, Insects. You already have bees, but there are so many others, too, and they don't even have to be poisonous. I have heard of severe mosquito allergies, for example, that flare up when bitten.

I wonder, would that include insect spirits?

If you are in contact with Insect Spirits, you have worse things to think about than allergies...

Hank: Hey guys, I want you to meet Delores.  We met at the Inferno a while back and I think she might make a good addition to the team.

Haha; that made my day. Sucks if it was just a squatter who had fleas though.

I had childhood allergies.
Cotton:  Real thing  This is what started it all, luckily being born in the early 70s when polyester was king helped a lot.
Lemons:  I would break out in hives, start wheezing, etc but I love me some lemons
Tomatoes: same as tomatoes, but I still dislike raw tomatoes, ketchup, sauce still the only way I can stand these things(sucks cause the wife loves them)
Beans: Was supposedly allergic, according to the doctors, never had a problem with them though.
Mold: This one sucked big time(according to my parents) the house they owned was built in the 1880s it was old, mold was common in it, especially the dirt basement.

My wife and eldest daughter are pretty much allergic to anything with four feet and fur, from hamsters to horses.  Daughter is allergic to grass(freshly cut is the worst), bannas, and all sorts of things.  The Doc said, "about the only thing she isn't allergic to is cockroaches".

I figured Cotton was a real thing, just haven't known anyone who has had it. I have it as Uncommon, because in 2075, most clothes are probably made of synthetic materials. Lemons is an interesting one, seems like they would be exotic and rare in the Shadowrun world. I'll put that under Uncommon. Tomatoes, as above with Lemons. Also don't know how readily available condiments are. Hmm, Beans might actually be Common. I think (could be wrong) that they are easy to grow, and they are pretty healthy in terms of what they give. I could see being used as a poor man's substitute to meat, much like Soy. Mold is in there.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Onions....i know someone who went into anaphylactic shock by eating one

Um. Wow. I would not want to be him. I'm not sure if Onions would be common or uncommon, for now it's going in uncommon.

[Snake Eyes]

Something else that i should have added is an allergy to CT dye & MRI contrast (which i am severely), but in the Shadowrun time period i'm not sure if this would be a problem since there would probably be better way to scan a patient.

Hmm, well, it doesn't hurt to put that up there. Definitely uncommon though.

[Herr Brackhaus]

Semen. Because it's real.

Really? Some of the things people are allergic to ...

Thanks for the suggestion, I won't be able to get that one out of my head.

My wife is allergic to horseradish, and if she has any it will make it difficult for her to breathe. This means wasabi and honey mustard sauce, among other things,  are a no-go.

All right, I think I'll add that to uncommon? I doubt many people have access to sauces/condiments unless they have a Middle or higher Lifestyle. At that point, they can be picky if they want.

Wife says it's used as a thickening agent in some of the spicier cheap foods, like Hamburger Helper, hot wing sauce, Japanese spice mixes, and also dijon mustards. Some of the Japanese and Chinese cosmetic products use it as a thickener/pore reducer or some such. 

Also gold makes her break out in hives; roses, hibiscus, and poinsettias also.  Cantaloupe makes her lose her voice.

Yeah she's special.

Yikes. Considering that, I think I'll move it to Common; Cantaloupe will go under Uncommon.

[Sendaz]

I might suggest Onion being Common. 

While whole chunks/slices of onion may be a luxury on your burger, onion powder is a very common element in spices and seasoning mixes for a wide range of foods as it's cheap and little bit goes a long ways for flavour.

That was the idea.

How about dust?
