I have indoor and outdoor allergies (dust mites, molds, pollens, birds, 
detergents).  My allergies have become much more of a problem since my roommate 
moved in 2 years ago.  I have noticed that I become very short of breath when 
around him and my nose runs more and I cough more when in direct contact with 
him.  I am wondering if it is possible that I could be allergic to him.
