A member asked:
Can you explain if it's possible to become allergic to something in later life that you were fine with before?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it happens: Not common though, more with drugs, sometimes with foods, something alters the immune response threshold for tolerating a certain element, and the immune system starts to react differently, rather over react to the element that it used to tolerate before
