I wouldn't necessarily say someone "loses" their allergies - rather, a person's body just builds an immunity against it.

My allergy:
When I was little I found my way into a Wasp Nest. At that time I didn't know I was allergic to almost every bee on the planet. I ended up in the hospital and almost died just by such a stupid incident. At this time, i'm still rather allergic to most types of bees. Particularly Wasps, Yellow-Jackets, and Bumble Bees. There are however a few bees that i'v been stung by in recent years and just mildly broke out. I asked the doctor and he basically told me what I just said above - that my body has built an immunity against some types of stings. I was rather curious so I did a little online searching. Back home, bees have infact gotten even MORE potent. So i'd consider this a feat of strength. =)

That makes sense (the building of an immunity/tolerance, I mean).

I've acually heard of that recently especially with that weird syliac disease. A friend of mine and I were discussing it because her mom has it and can now eat some things that she wasnt able to before. Weird cause I never thought it was possible to "outgrow" or even develope an immunity to certain allergies
