A member asked:
If i am commonly exposed to allergies, could it weaken them over time and i won't be allergic anymore?

Yes with exceptions: What you have described is called "hyposensitization" also known as allergy shots. This technique delivers dilute amounts of an allergen and this causes the bodies igg to develope against that allergen which suppresses the gamma globulin ige which causes most allergic reactions.
