“Is there any way at all to get rid of allergies forever?”
I've had seasonal allergies my whole life. They are really bad every year, some years worse than others. Is there anything at all I can do to get rid of them forever?

Yes there are very good vaccines which have a high probability (not 100% certainty) of "curing your allergy.
If your allergies are seasonal, allergy skin testing could identify specifically what your sensitivities are. Then an allergy specialist could discuss the possibility of immunotherapy as a treatment.(allergy shots). Immunotherapy is the closest “cure” we have thus far. Certain forms of sublingual immunotherapy are an option too. If you haven’t seen an Allergy specialist, you should.

I am a registered dietitian - from my experience and knowledge, when working at an allergy center, you should consult your allergist about beginning allergy shots to desensitize your immune system to specific triggers.
