It has been stated that kids who grow up in and around forested natural areas have better immune systems and are generally healthier for having grown up closer to the natural earth, as opposed to growing up in an asphalt jungle.
Take poison oak for example. I have a relative whos drinking water flows through these plants and he is now immune to it. I brought a friend to his house (never been exposed) and after sitting on his couch, within 24 hours I had to take them to the hospital over the poison oak which had spread to the majority of their body. They were given a shot and we left shortly after that.
Me? I've had allergies from a young age and actually had treatments for it. I remember laying on my stomache while the doctor pricked my back a bunch of times. I'll still sneeze around a bunch of pollen but not enough to prevent me from doing the work.
In short, I do not think there is a fixall, take a pill solution and that there are many many factors to consider when treating someone for an allergy, or anything else for that matter. My grandma was hospitalized from inhaling bat dung, and my father also after eating some peanuts. Both could probably be treated to be less allergic but, this would require a lengthy treatment plan which is not a normal solution.
