A member asked:
Is it possible to not be allergic anymore, after not being exposed for years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Most people lose their allergy to penicillin after not being exposed to it for over 10 years. Some lose their seasonal allergies over time. Some food allergies can linger lifelong even if you don't eat them. See an allergist and get tested to have your answers.
