Neighborhood Allergy Specialist

Do you have one? My small suburb has five. Yes, five. Where were these when I was a kid? Yes, you might have known Timmy that was allergic to pet dander or Jane that couldn't eat peanuts, but it seems that people are allergic to any and everything these days. I looked up the definition for allergy. Every various definition had a common word that stood out to me. Environment. Could it be that there are new allergens in our current day environment that attribute to the increasingly large numbers of people affected? And could it be that, gasp, we are all not really "allergic"? Perhaps by simply treating the air and water in our environments, we could alleviate the need for the neighborhood allergy specialist.
