If no one in my fam last gens too have any sort of allergies spec food sensitivities, is it stilllikely that it's in my gene and will be passed down?

Prssible: The genes predisposing to allergies also predispose to eczema and asthma. In a given individual in a family, one of the three may express itself. It is now known, however, that breast-fed babies are much less likely to develop significant allergies.
