A member asked:
Can you become allergic to new things after being pregnant even if you never had any allergies before?

Absolutely!: Changes in allergic sensitivities typically occur after large changes in hormones, as occurs in puberty, after pregnancies, and sometimes with menopause. Women definitely get the short end of this stick - men are primarily at risk only during adolescence.

Yes: Allergies can start at almost any age...And the immune system often changes after a pregnancy.
