saerules wrote that the dictionary Wrote:allergy |ˈalərjē|
noun ( pl. -gies)
a damaging immune response by the body to a substance, esp. pollen, fur, a particular food, or dust, to which it has become hypersensitive.
• informal an antipathy : their allergy to free enterprise.
No, allergys are an error in the persons genes, a person who is allergic to peanuts, wich are not poisonous, eats a peanut, their body will attack the peanut and produce a reaction that is harmful to itself. when somebody else stabs you, the only adverse reaction to you is caused by the other person, your immune system produces a positive [b]not negative[b] response to being stabbed, as in it fixxes the damage.

The response of your body to a pollen is no different [than being stabbed]: When one breaths it in, the body has a 'good' response to it, as it tries to remove the foreign substance.
The response of one's body to a knife is just as validly an allergy [definition removed] Due to the hypersensitivity we have to being stabbed, and that our body's bleeding can kill us (and if any organ was struck expect possible malfunction)... It is an allergic reaction. Maybe not a hugely bad one... but it is still bad enough to register, I think
No, not everyone is allergic to pollen, in most people the mucus membranes catch it, and you sneeze(not an allergic reaction) and the pollen is expelled; in people who are allergic to pollen, the bodys immune system reacts to the pollen, and the result is damage done to your body caused by your body in response to whatever you are allergic to. An allergy to knives would be some kind of mental disorder where upon seeing a knife near you, you get the uncontrollable urge to cut yourself with it.
"Due to the hypersensitivity we [the human race] have to being stabbed" this would be improper use of hypersensitive, as everyone is damaged by being stabed, it would be a sensitivity, as 'hypersensitive' deals with people in the population that have a worse sensitivity than normal (average).
Plus if knives are toxic, then what happens when you get stabbed in the kidneys?
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
