I'm not allergic to anything.

According to an allergist I saw on TV over the weekend, one can be allergy free, then in a later stage of life, develop an allergy. Yikes!

At age 50 I went from a lifetime of just ragweed allergies to allergic reactions to many dozens of different types of food. Allergies suck...and the doctors do pretty much nothing about it except to caution you to what you can and can not eat. In my case it morphed from massive hives and occasion bouts of anaphylaxis, to acting as a neurotoxin. bad stuff.

Yep. I was allergy free all through childhood. In my 20s, I got really sensitive to fungal spores and dust. Still not allergic to poison ivy, though, as far as I know.
