I have allergies. Not to deer however. I've had the "normal" hay fever ones, depending on the location and time of year.

I once was allegic to blue shell crabs. Lordy, did I want to eat them. Haven't touched them since. I'm very allergic to mold and dust. Have some problems over the years, going through dusty files.

I remember telling my family doctor I had an allergy. He never heard of such a thing. Never in his medical education did he learn of such a thing. I was allergic to cantaloupe. Fortunately, I outgrew it in a few years. Still love cantaloupe.

One day, I had to go to the school to pick up my less than 10 year old daughter. She had just caught the bus, less than an hour and a half earlier. Her eyes were swelling and her one eye was so swollen her eye was completely shut. The teacher was very excited and concerned.
The nurse in the family didn't know the answer, so since I had allergies, I played detective and closely asked what my daughter did in the last two hours. After going over her movements, a number of times, she finally mentioned one innocuous fact. She had picked up a stray cat at the school bus stop.

Yes, I believe in allergies. Good luck. I too like saving money by being the deer butcher.
