Developing allergies is the biggest bullshit on earth ever. I used to forage for a staple food but now if I eat that my throat swells up and I can’t breath.
I’ve heard there have been studies that indicate that in some part modern allergies are our bodies directing an evolved immune response that we once needed for all the parasites we constantly carried. They gave parasites to people that had certain food allergies and suddenly their food allergies were just straight up gone.
