Absolutely, and if your dad has it, you are even more likely to get the same allergies.

Yes, it is possible for you to inherit that same allergy. An allergic reaction is a response to a harmless substance. Most of the time allergies are a result in genetics. so let's say that your mom has a gene for an allergy, that means an enviornmental influence caused that gene to turn on and cause the reaction. you may have the gene for it, it might not be turned on yet until somthing from the enviornment triggers the lysogenic or lytic cycle of your body.

Yes, definitely. My daughter, her dad, and her grandma are all allergic to paprika. I can't imagine that's a coincidence.
Yes to your other question also. You won't have necessarily inherited the allergy. I wouldn't take the chance if it's a life threatening problem for your mom though.
You probably already know this but Pepto-Bismal has one of the main ingredients of aspirin in it.

You may or may not be. Anyone can develop an allergy. The probability of developing allergy to a certain thing is increased if one or both parents suffer from some kind of allergic condition. It must be noted however that even when one or both of your parents are affected, you may also not develop the same allergy.

Yes. Allergies can develop in various ways, and one way is genetics. An allergy is simply an overactive immune response, usually to something that would otherwise not be harmful. Poison ivy is a good example... there is nothing in it that can actually hurt you... no poisons or irritants or anything like that... but most people are allergic to it, and their immune system goes nuts about it when any contact is made. I am not allergic to it, and I have no problem walking through it, but I'm allergic to practically everything else that grows :)

Absolutely. Also, it's very possible that you will develop alergies to different things over the years, too. You may have allergies to things she isn't alergic to, and vice versa.
