*scratch, scratch*

I have developed an allergy to certain blue cheeses. When I eat over-ripe Stilton, I break out. It lasts several days.

Does anyone else suffer?

Oh, the humanity!

Thankfully, no, I have not.

Have you tried switching cheese manufacturers*? It might not be the cheese itself, but some preservative or additive.

* I'm sure that's NOT the right word.

Or it could be the "over-ripe" - try disinfecting your fridge. the overripeness will allow time for bacteria in your fridge to grow on the cheese, probably not a good idea.

#2 I'm sure it is cheese manufacture. You don't grow cheese even though that's what happens. Pretentious places are calling themselves "creameries" now, instead dairy/cheese farms but it is still manufacturing.

Oh, the humanity LOL! clam. Anti-histamine calms it down, thank goodness.

I will try your suggestion r_f but I think it is something in the cheese.

It's not just stilton. A runny French blue (the name of which I forget) had me scratching through the night.

I once met a lady at a dinner party who said she gets very ill if she eats blue cheeses.
