Allergies ...

Wow I'm on a roll! So many answers in one day, I am going to award myself with a chocolate chip cookie! Yum. It's fortunate that I'm not allergic to chocolate or eggs.

Spring fever has come and gone ... I'm assuming that's why my friend asked, " i heard that every 7 years, you develop new allergies or your allergies evolve. is this true? so like for example, i would have no allergies my first seven years of life, i would all of a sudden have allergies when i'm eight."

I'm going to walk out on a limb here and say that it sounds completely unfounded to me. I tried looking it up and found nothing about this topic ... granted, I didn't look too long. Your allergies may evolve or change, for example, your may grow allergic to milk and become lactose intolerant, or sometimes allergies can go away if you've built up enough tolerance for it. However, I don't think there's a 7 year interval where your allergies change.

Just be careful if you're have violent allergic reaction to certain things, you definitely don't want to end up like this girl.
