Allergies are not like asthma, if you have them you know for sure you have them. Especially stuff like Peanuts and Shrimp..

My wife is Oat Allergic she knew before she was tested for it she just know because if she ate anything with oats she would get itcy in her mouth.

I have ‘asthma’ though I never knew it just thought I was out of shape. I only found out at a routine physical.

How me process foods, what we put into them and (in my view only) the continuing trend of GMO foods is causing more allergies to form. We still don’t know exactly what causes them..

How me process foods, what we put into them and (in my view only) the continuing trend of GMO foods is causing more allergies to form. We still don’t know exactly what causes them. You make a good point. Although a bit hippy, I have been making a concious effort to eat more locally grown stuff and cook from scratch. I think this has helped. The one I noticed the most is keeping fresh cut, locally grown lavender in the house. I don't know what properties are in that, but a bunch in one closet made a huge difference. I still can't eat bleu cheese from August until the first freeze though (can't tolerate high mold counts).
