for the past two years i've been getting new allergies. but really bad allergies to things that i've been around all my life. it's really frustrating. i sat in the grass one day and then for the next five days i was throwing up and i couldn't eat and i was covered in hives. i now know that i am allergic to grass and alot of other things that i had been eating or been around all my life. like avacados and tomatos.. does any one know why this happens?

Allergies, without exception require a previous exposure to develop a "sensitivity" and subsequent allergy.
These are "histamine "(chemical) mediated or triggered events and for some reason, your body is is a hyper reactive state; This often times comes from our environment (molds, chemicals, food,dander,fleathers) and some people develop into what's know as "ectopics", this often includes asthma.
Imperative that You consider the indication to carry epinephrine with you (an epi pen.) for a potentially severe reaction. Carry some over the counter diphenhydramine (benadryl with you as well. I don't mean to frighten you but better safe than sorry.
By all means, a visit to an "Allergist" is in your best interest.

Your body goes through changes regularly. Allergies run on 7 year cycles in general.
As a child I ate garlic in pretty much evrything, since I am Italian, this is normal. By the time I was a teenager, I started getting bad headaches and migraines from garlic. By the time I was in my twenties I started getting physically ill if I ate anything with garlic. Now, in my 30's, even smelling garlic makes me headachy and vomit.
Talk to an allergist about it for more details and get a good medication. I take singulare and I can go camping now. (I'm allergic to pretty much all of nature, and have asthma.)

Anyone can become allergic to anything at anytime... allergies generally develop due to constant exposure to the same allergen. If you're allergic to grass, then you might be allergic to wheat, cane sugar, and any number of foods that are biologically related to grass. If you're allergic to tomatoes, then you might also be allergic to the other things that are in the nightshade family such as potatoes, tobacco, eggplant, and peppers.
Your best bet is to visit an allergist, or environmental doctor for testing and treatment to prevent any serious allergic episodes.

Maybe overexposure, your immune system will only fight some thing off so long, but if it's too overwhelmed it loses the battle.

Probably cause our bodies are slowly breaking down and getting older.

If you don't eat enough vegetables, then you're immune system will deteriorate and you'll develop allergies...

Possibly because you have grown to be in a new stage in your life!
