Well I don't doubt you know more about it than I do, but I recall research that, for example, people who worked on farms in Bavaria as children had fewer allergies later in life, than those who did not. So, while it is certainly possible to get allergic to something later, it might suggest that your early-life immune system learning of "how weird is too weird" could conceivably have an impact.
But, it is not my field.
