Also, as far as I'm aware I've never had the flu but I've been alive for 25 years. My body has to have come in contact with it at some point. So did just a small enough amount make its way into my body so that my immune system was able to deal with it before 1) the virus took over or 2) my innate immune response started flipping its shit?
And how in balls' name can you randomly develop an allergy to something?
I need all da ansuhs, bruh.

Re: allergies.
Most of the time the allergy is there by the time kids are 10 or so, but the type and extent of the response can change over time. So while it may seem like people develop allergies, it is , ore likely that the response has intensified.
DISCLAIMER: I am not an expert, I've just been seeing doctors for allergies my whole life.
