Is anyone else allergic to chocolate?!

I'm severely allergic to even the tiniest bit of chocolate! My whole back and both arms become a patchwork of hives. Anyone else react this way to chocolate or am I just the unluckiest girl on the planet? D:

    A lot of people have allergies to chocolate sadly.
    Sometimes its not the actual chocolate but the milk or sugar(though you sound like you have a true allergy rather than a food sensitivity.) I work in a chocolate shop and a lot of people who come in with their family say they cant eat it either because it makes them sick in their stomach or more commonly it gives them migraines.
    I sometimes wish I was allergic to chocolate cause then I wouldn't eat so damn much of it...but that is another post.
    If it makes you feel better Im allergic to avocados :)

    Yeah my mom and sister are allergic as well in the same way.. But I've just never heard of a hive allergy to chocolate before they told me why I was so red and itchy.

    Well I get pretty severe headaches from certain types of chocolate and/or in large quantities. My friend's mother gets this as well. One of my other friends is lactose intolerant so he can't get near anything with milk in it or he'll get incredibly ill.

    It's pretty normal I suppose, people's senses react differently to whatever is in the chocolate.

    Hahaha yeah, I still eat it every once in a while but I end up paying for it for the next 24 hours. Well good to know other people weird out when they eat it. Still weird.

    I used to work with someone who would have uncontrollable sneezing after chocolate. It didn't stop her though.

    I'm so sorry to hear that. :( I can't live without chocolate! I can imagine how much pain you go through. Try looking for other sweets. Chocolate is great but it's not the only one. :)

    I can't eat chocolate. It tastes good, though. But then it kills me.
