Could I ever get immuned to my allergies?!
Question: Could I ever get immuned to my allergies!?
I'm so sick and tired of my allergies!! During spring it hits me!. I can't be near a cat!. I can't run or else I'll get asthma during spring!. For some reason I started having allergies to certain fruits and veggs!. (Banana, Watermellon, celery, kiwi, cantilope, etc!.!.!.!.!.)
If i keep eating these fruits/ vegetables would I just one day get immuned to them!? My immune system is so retarded!!!
Can I do some mind over body thing and just tell my body that its OKAY!? lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Depending on what you are allergic too and how severe it is, it is possible to become immune!.
It also depends on your age!. A lot of people with bad allergies as a child or teen will grow out of them once they are an adult!. I used to be horribly allergic to dogs when I was a kid but now I can be around them (I even own a dog) and they don't bother me one bit!.
Like the poster above me said, allergy shots can definitely work, especially for outdoor things like grass and pollen (they worked pretty well for me)!. But if your allergies are too severe even the small amount of allergen needed for the shots will be too much for your body to handle!.
For example, I'm also severely allergic to nuts (my throat closes up), but the doctor did not want to chance giving me allergy shots as they could potentially kill me!.
Good luck!. Allergies are definitely no fun at all :-(Www@Answer-Health@Com

You really need to get yourself on some allergy medications for the spring!. Get yourself some zyrtec, alavert or claritin over the counter!. Get Allegra, Clarinex, Vistaril, Flonase and/or Rhinocort as a prescription!. You could also get some Singulair for the breathing issue!. You could see an allergist (usually a pulmonologist) and get allergy shots!. Take a benadryl before you eat anything that may contain one of the foods you're allergic to, it'll lessen the reaction!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Allergy shots work by exposing you in very small amounts to whatever it is you're allergic to in order to build up an immunity to the allergen!. You should probably talk to a doctor about it, though, especially because some food allergies can be very dangerous!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
