Interesting. Why did I become allergic though? I used to not be.

I think most doctors and researchers would love an answer to that question as well - allergies are weird

That I'm not really sure. I do know however that early exposure (from childhood) to allergens helps prevent allergies from developing later in life.

So people who had a cat when they were a child are much less likely to develop cat allergies when adults, and similarly children who eat nuts are less likely to develop nut allergies
