if your mother was allergic to a substance and she was exposed while you
were in the womb, the antigens/bodies/proteins passes to the fetus, and you
will be allergic to that substance - even though you did not eat it.
I have children who share their mother's allergies and many friends whose
children share some or all of their mother's allergies, some bottle-fed and
some where the mothers said they avoided allergies during nursing-- and some
children who have none where mom said she had carefully avoided her
allergies during pregnancy. But none have dad's allergies.
