Allergies, Are They Inherited? (Quiz)

Ok, I'll bite   Let's see, I believe that a sensitivity can be inherited.  That if a parent is sensitive to a certain allergen, the chances of their child getting an allergy is increased........yes?  Now where my parents got theirs from is beyond me since I never asked them.  So do I pass or did I flunk?  I never was any good at quizes, the whole deer caught in the headlight kind of sydrome this gal has!

I believe that we are more susceptible to different diseases and disorders if our parents and close relatives have them but not inherit the diseases itself.

Ok, when do I get my "F". I have no idea of the answer, I just took a shot in the dark and it sounded good. :)

The answer is Yes and No.

hehehe, maybe I can have a C too??? Actually I've read that about allergies being inherited and that being exposed to certain things can increase your risk of allergies. I just didn't remember the second half until I've read your answer.

Phew, I thought you were going to wait forever to give us the answer! I am going away for the holiday weekend and I couldn't go unless you told me what the answer was. So I guess I can go and enjoy myself now then eh? Thank you! :)
