I’ve been led to believe that prolonged contact with an object you might have allergies to would lead to greater allergies in time, but also that taking small doses of the said substance over a long duration would build up an immunity. Where do these two facts intertwine?
To list a specific object, poison oak/ivy

Matthew C asked:

I have food allergies to most raw fruits, vegetables and nuts. My allergies include: tomatoes, peanuts, apples, pears, melons (all kinds), bananas, berries (all kinds), spinach, lettuce. I gradually became allergic to most of these over time with increasingly adverse reactions; mouth and throat itching and swelling.

Rafael S asked:


Well, i have allergies and i have heard that certain detergents cause allergic reactions. Furthermore, what will clean my clothes but not give me allergies.

highmaintenance asked:


My allergies are peanuts, nuts, soy, latex, and other seeds and fruits. I am sensitive to toxins/chemicals in the air such as off-gassing from new rugs. Wondering if there is anyone who deals with something like this, and how would you travel? We’re planning a 14 hour drive, and I don’t want to miss it, but I don’t want to go and be completely stressed out the whole time. Please answer only if you have similar conditions (you or a family member). Thank you.
