I reacted to:
- Epidermals: cat, dog, horse, feather mix
- Dust, misc: both things I was tested for (d. ptery, d. farinae)
- Molds: alternaria, aspergillus, penicillium, mold mix (broken out: phoma, rhizopus, smut, spondylocladium, candida (monilla), pullularia, mucor, fusarium)
- Grasses: Blue (June), Timothy, Bermuda, Johnson
- Trees: Cottonwood, Box Elder
- Weeds: short ragweed, pigweed (spiny), yellow dock, english plantain
- Common foods: cow's milk

What a lot of weird names to type but there ya go. It'll be interesting to see what the list looks like here.

Ack...my heart goes out to ya. I've grown so accustomed to my dogs, cats, chickens, and horses that it would hurt to give them up.

But you could do fish tanks!

I figured with all of the other allergens (dust, trees, grasses), there's no point in giving up animals. I had trouble with the fish tank sometimes (I think mostly when it was dirty), but fish, they're not snuggly enough a pet for me.
