That can't be the only explanation, my first allergic reaction was at half-hour old (yes, at 30 minutes old), still have a scar from that on my face... ('What fight gave you that one?' 'Oh, the usual, formula milk as a newborn...') Though I suspect I'm still 'lucky' to only get rashes and 'hay-fever' reactions... Funny story, 32 years later I'm still allergic to lots of stuff (food, plastics, heat), a couple of years ago I was so sick of it I forced my GP to have me tested. (It was forced because he was of the opinion that we knew I had allergies, so testing for a known outcome wouldn't tell us anything.) He called me back asking why I was still alive... According to the results they found traces of a raging nut and peanut allergy (and other stuff some of which they didn't bother specifying further). So why am I still alive? I can't stand the smell nor taste of them, and they 'only' give me rashes and during accidental ingestion swollen lips/tongue...
