Are allergies coded in the genes?

Question

im allergic to dogs and cats and i was wondering if it is a genetic mutation or something else. if it is something else can you tell me what it is?

im talking about in my genes not an animals

Answer 1

Yes I believe so,and I personally have been doing research on the link between blood type and allergies,blood type O seem to have a greater number of auto-immune and allergic related conditions such as celiac disease,people of European descent are also more prone to allergies.There are many causes in allergic response,genes play a part in it but its not the entire cause.Just imagine that genes are the gun but lifestyle pulls the trigger,many times people with allergies have a leaky gut type condition and repeated antibiotic use,that coupled with lack of breast feeding,early allergen exposure being fed peanuts for example before 12 months of age and eating the same foods day in and day out.The more you are exposed to a substance the more likely you are to develop an allergy to it.

Answer 2

i am too. interaction with animals seems forbidden to the long-lived types. i think pissy cat houses should be demolished and the land scoured before rebuilding. animals know real quick if one has these opinions as well as their depressed, usually toxic owners, so it pays to look to group with ones genetic value before, BEFORE the mutation for cohabitation with dogs and cats.

Answer 3

Often, yes. But there is not always an apparent cause for allergies. They are simply more likely to develop in people whose families are prone to them.
