I didn't use to have any allergies but after being a professional arborist and climbing oak trees constantly during pollen season, I am now horribly allergic to them. Its weird how exposure to allergens works to make the reaction worse. Also similarly with poison ivy/oak, which I used to think I was immune to, until I had to be in it all the time. Most summers I get systemic PI rash now. Although I sort of look forward to it, because the cure is a really hot shower, which releases all the histamine at once and is like an orgasmic level of itching sensation for a few minutes and then it is completely gone for at least 8 hrs until I do it again.
