Would you want to cure any allergy but slowly getting exposed to it?

I am not that brave. I have pollen and nut allergy. When I get exposed, it's hard to think, breathe and even do my regular chores. It's not enough to put me in an ambulance but I don't want to expose myself to them.

I don't have any allergies and I don't know what I would choose, if that isn't the case.

As much as I would love to help find a cure for allergies, I had an allergic reaction to something 6 years ago and I don't wish that on anyone and wouldn't want to go through that again. :S I still don't know what caused it but my arms swelled up and were super itchy, same with my chest. I had to take steroids to suppress my immune system so the reaction could go away.
