No allergies (cough, wheeze)

When I was very young,  I could not eat eggs, or anything cooked with eggs. I learned to live with that. Then, in 1950, I was in college, at The Citadel, in Charleston, South Carolina, and I had a few severe attacks, where no eggs were involved. Had that series of tests done on my arms. Eggs, chocolate, peanut butter, dust, and, Chikery, which they put in their coffee. Have a few severe attacks until they found that out. Itchy, swollen eyes, wheezy, hard time breathing.

Went in the Navy in 1954, had a few episodes, and, then, no more.

Until I was 79, like today. Itchy eyes, watery, a little wheezy, why?  On top of old age, itself, I don't need to revive any of my childhood illnesses. I have not eaten eggs, I have had coffee, but I read the label and it states (sneeze) 100% coffee (sneeze). I have the door open and the fan on, trying to get fresh air into the apartment. Hay fever, never had that, maybe the illness Gods in their infinite wisdom, determined I should experience "hay fever" before I go. (sneeze and cough while wiping my eyes)
