I think I lucked out either environmentally or genetically. I always feel so awkward when allergies pop up in convos.

The old man (who's a sub specialist doc) says "that's because i didn't care when you were crawling through the garden or dog shit as a kid". I mean thanks but maybe it worked.

I know how you feel. I'm also moderately immune to food poisoning. Long story.

Me too. I don't fully understand the grief people go through over allergies, as I don't have any myself. I too credit my lax (by current standards) parents who turned us kids out of doors a lot so long as we stayed in a pack. Also many childhood pets, cleaning with soap and water only (no anti-bacterial shit). And home cooking by Mum, a survivor of the Great Depression and rabidly anti-waste of good food. Tea yes, but no coffee or lolly water for us kids either.
