As a kid, I was allergic to everything. And lactose intolerant. Grass, trees, pollen, cats, some dogs, my allergy test had me wanting to scratch my back on the stucco walls.

I hit maybe 20 and all of it went away. I can roll in grass and dandelions and leaves, I can rub cats on my face (thank gawd), I eat tons of cheese. It’s amazing.

    I'm happy for you. It usually happens the other way around.

    Thank you! I am very thankful and do not take it for granted. I met my first cat when I was 16 or so, and my eyes swelled up to almost closed. I did not stop rubbing my face on that cat every time I went over, though. I was so astounded that cats just exist.
