    you would have to talk to you’re doctor.
    allerigies depand on the person.

    Let say you are allergic to dogs… but she he is not. This is normal.

    you can get allerigc to anything anytime… and you cant be allergic to sutff. lucky for me i am not allergic on anything yet.

    Don’t breed! You cannot change your genes!

    Adopt.
    If it is genetic, nothing can be done.
    If it is environmental, there is a lot, but it will be a pain in the neck and expensive.
    Have your children and teach them how to deal, just as you do.
    Or don’t have kids. You might also give them the genes for Diabetes and heart disease. Or mental illness.
    It is a crap shoot.

    No..most inherited diseases have no way of being prevented (and many can’t even be tested for until the child is born or shows symptoms). All you can do is educate yourself about parenting, allergies and the disease.

    you have to splice your DNA (as well as your husband’s) and remove the portion that is responsible for allergies

    and make sure to mention me during your Nobel Prize speech

    Not much, however I heard having a pet in the home (dog/cat) helps reduce the possibilities of them having allergies.

    Probably not before, but once born: don’t stop them from playing in the dirt, helps build immunity. Make sure there is no mold in your house. Breast feed. Do not introduce too many new foods at once, and feed single source foods, not mixes. Don’t take them to indoor swimming pools with poor ventilation (which is most), chlorine gas is deadly. Keep their young lungs away from smoky environments, cigarette or other eg wood fire, even gas fire is not great.
