Allergies are interesting, but complex, whether in humans or 
dogs.  It is possible for both to "outgrow" an allergy, and 
feeding the same food does not necessarily cause allergies.  Many 
of us have fed the same food to our dogs for years with no ill 
effect.

On the human front, back in the 90's, I was diagnosed with 
allergies to dog, mold, dust mites, smut (which is something corn 
produces, though I wasn't allergic to corn itself.  I got shots, 
mainly because of the dog allergy.  About four years ago, I was 
having some lung issues and they tested me for allergies again.  
This time they used a blood test instead of the little skin 
pricks.  When the blood test came back, I had no allergies.  So 
just goes to show that you never know for sure.  I do know that 
I'm still sensitive to some this-so, like I can taste mold on 
cheese and it grosses me out so much that if I even get the hint 
of mold, I can't eat the cheese.  I also know that sometimes 
after hugging Lamar and Nova and burying my face in their hair, I 
feel a little itchy.  So I don't know if allergies in humans and 
dogs can come back or not.  I can bury my face in our cat, like 
to hold him and cuddle him and no problem at all.  No itchy nose, 
or anything.  Maybe we should try guide cats.  Lol.    Debby and
