I know a lot of people, I don't know, I actually don't know that a lot of people, but it seems like a lot of people have seafood allergies, shellfish allergies.

And generally, what are the symptoms of a seafood allergy?

Is there a good understanding of how you acquire an allergy?

You had mentioned peanut allergies.

Maybe it's because you weren't exposed to peanuts.

But what about other allergies?

Is it passed down?

Is it all environmental?

Some or both?

I don't know.

Is it safe to assume that the most common allergy is things in the air, pollen, whatever is in the air that makes people sneeze, and that's the most common?

And do allergies tend to go away?

You had said some of them do, but do most of them eventually disappear or most of them don't?

I want to get your, lastly, get your thoughts on, because I have what I assume are airborne allergies, and I get stuffy when in the spring and all that.

And I use a neti pot, which I discovered not all that long ago, and I find it amazing.

But what's your sense?

What's your take on nasal sprays like Flonase?

A lot of people say they really help.

What do you say?

I don't know anybody who's not affected by allergies.
