Allergies/Sensitivities - The Social Responsibility?

[Linus]

There can be a huge social responsibility in regards to allergies since many who have allergies, particularly peanut, could die from them. That's pretty serious and I don't think it's a horrible thing for people to adhere to.

I do wonder, however, if some are claiming allergy to certain things because tehy just don't like someone or something (like a woman I knew who claimed a scent allergy and yet, wore the greatest amount of perfume).
