What are you Allergic to?

Mildly allergic to mosquito bites which sucks because I love camping, and I live in the most mosquito infested place north of the tropics.
 
I'm lucky and I'm allergic to nothing. Though at one time I was allergic to Maple pollen.
I heard allergies are caused when the immune system does not have anything to fight off so it creates a problem so it can fight it. It makes sense.
So I guess those who have allergies are well protected from bacteria and those who don't are not well protected. I wouldn't make that theory a fact though. I would assume that there might be some allergies obtained through genetics and possibly just spontaneously for some cases.

That's why so many kids have peanut allergies now. We live in a very sterile environment, so with nothing to do our immune system develops obsessive compulsive disorder.
