I'm wondering if anyone has read up on

the subject of allergies to "human insulin"

products.  I did a search on the online

PubMed and found numerous reports of

allergies  to "human insulin" products

and reports of individuals allergic to

multiple "human insulin" products.

That's one reason we really need animal-source

insulin in the U.S.  So that we have other options

available for allergic persons.

I always say that when they discovered new antibiotics,

they didn't pull the old ones off the market just because

they discovered a new one.  Instead, persons who have

a penicillin allergy still have other antibiotics on the market

that their physician can prescribe.  They don't have to wait

for those to be imported.

I hope that somewhere someone will wake up and see

that there is an urgent need for animal-source insulin

in the U.S. and do something to get it back on the market.

Allergies are abnormal immune system reactions to things that are typically harmless to most people. When you're allergic to something, your immune system mistakenly believes that this substance is harmful to your body. Medical Tourism has told us the substances that cause allergic reactions, such as certain foods, dust, plant pollen, or medicines, are known as allergens.) In an attempt to protect the body, the immune system produces IgE antibodies to that allergen. Those antibodies then cause certain cells in the body to release chemicals into the bloodstream, one of which is histamine (pronounced: his-tuh-meen).
Some of the most common allergens are:

Foods. Food allergies are most common in infants and often go away as a child gets older. Although some food allergies can be serious, many simply cause annoying symptoms like an itchy rash, a stuffy nose, and diarrhea.
Insect bites and stings. The venom (poison) in insect bites and stings causes allergic reactions in many people. These allergies can be severe and may cause an anaphylactic reaction in some people.

Airborne particles. These are often called environmental allergens, and they're the most common allergens. Some examples of airborne particles that can cause allergies in people are dust mites (tiny bugs that live in house dust); mold spores; animal dander (flakes of scaly, dried skin, and dried saliva from your pets); and pollen from grass, ragweed, and trees.

Medicines. Antibiotics — medications used to treat infections — are the most common types of medicines that cause allergic reactions. Many other medicines, including over-the-counter medications (those you can buy without a prescription), can also cause allergic reactions.

Chemicals. Some cosmetics or laundry detergents can cause people to break out in an itchy rash (hives). Usually, this is because the person has a reaction to the chemicals in these products. Dyes, household cleaners, and pesticides used on lawns or plants can also cause allergic reactions in some people.

There are allot of ways to treat your allergies, I sneeze evertime I see a cat so mine are pretty bad, more so due to the fact that I am diabetic :(
