Allergies can pop up at any time in your life, like your reaction to poison ivy. A guy I grew up with used to take poison ivy leaves and use them to make a whistle-like sound, knowing full well what it was. Many years later he tried the same stunt to try to impress his grandchildren but he found out the hard way that he was developed an allergy to it. He had to be rushed to the hospital for a shot because his throat started to close.
