"People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone." - Audrey Hepburn
I came to this site for advice about a man and love. That very question turned my entire world around and I have had my eyes opened to things I never noticed before.
I've stayed here so that I can share the knowledge I do have. I know I'm not changing the world but I do hope that I spark others to open their eyes.

So, if you learn something from what I say then repeat it to someone else who can use it.
I hope that if you see an answer of mine that you enjoy it will inspire you to go out of your way to give good, solid information. Provide links for further information, detail your responses, encourage people to seek out professionals when it's needed, and stop sugar-coating responses and just say the truth.
I hope that even if you absolutely hate my answer that it'll kick start your brain. Hopefully you'll begin taking your time to respond instead of hurried answers that are useless to an already confused person.

This may sound strange but whenever i have a mint
or chew gum that's minty i sneeze afterwards my aunt made a suggestion to me that i might be allergic i also did some research and got the same answer...
Do you think i could be allergic?
If i go to a allergist will they be able to help me or no? Will i be wasting my time if i do go?
I only sneeze when i have mints or chew gum that's minty it doesn't happen when i use toothpaste

Probably not.
Since the mint comes in contact with your mucus membrane you would probably have a bit of swelling, discomfort, or even pain associated with the "allergic reaction" as well.
Since none of that happens--just a sneeze--then it's possible that you just have sensitive sinuses.
Mint always tends to tingle in my nose when I'm chewing gum or just having a breath freshener. I don't sneeze but I'm certain that plenty of people do.
I once smelled this neck-warmer that was infused with mint and my nose went wild. It doesn't mean I was allergic to it. It just meant it was strong enough to make my sinuses go, "WHOA!"
If you're concerned then see your doctor.
If you're just curious then I'd really put it off with the way doctor's visits cost now. If it's not important then surely it can be put off to wait until later on.
