Writer's Block: Bless you!
Lanolin
Wool: all of it, including cashmere, and especially Angora!
Micropore and other hypoallergenic sticking plasters
Ordinary sticking plasters. Takes slightly longer to get a reaction is all... Mefix is the best surgical sticky tape I've used, but after a day even that starts up with the red itch patches.
Biological washing powders. Even the Ecover one. Their non-bio is excellent, though, so mostly we use that.
The sort of scent that is used in washing powders and soaps.
Dove. Everything I've tried that they make. I've given up.
My own hair. My face and neck itch at the moment... Must tie it up! It'll prevent another lost hair down my back, which I HAVE JUST EXTRACTED because it was making that old familiar itch scratchy feeling. Hair shirt I know well!
Dog hair and dog lick.
Wasp stings. Trip to A&E, those...
Grass and other garden lawn plants on my skin.
Lots of other minor stuff. I can't skin or scrub new potatoes, but eating them is fine. Wheat and other grass crops give me hay fever, but I don't seem to react much to other pollens. With the grass crops I react more strongly to harvest dust then to pollen, too.
