Or perhaps many of them are fabricated. I know a family whose child is suddenly deathly allergic to peanuts and the other children must be controlled for her sake.

Odd she didn't have this deadly problem for 3 years.

My daughter is severely allergic to liberals. When she interacts with them it causes her severe cognitive brain disfunction. The public school she goes to have had to accomodate her by removing all lefty loony moonbat types from her classes leaving just the common-sense conservative teachers.

I was stung by bees four times as a kid and never got so much as a red mark. Then, in college, I got stung again, went into anaphylactic shock and almost died. My throat closed up before I could even get the words, "I got stung" out of my mouth. I also never had any problems with band-aids, but developed an allergy after having a central line taped to my chest every day for 3 months. Now, if I put on a band-aid, I get hives immediately. As was explained to me by my allergist, in many people, each exposure to something increases the odds that they will become allergic to it. It's a common misconception that all allergies are present at birth.

By the way, to all those folks who think epi-pens automatically solve the problem: they don't. They're designed to give you some time to haul a$$ to the ER, but they don't always work, especially in severe peanut allergies.
