So, in this case, allergy is obviously a noun. Maybe I missed it in the examples given, but couldn't you add suru to it to say you have an allergy?

Nyororin,

You are 100% correct. I just confirmed that. I had been saying it wrong for years. Sometimes I wish Japanese people would correct me more.

Thanks!

No problem. You made me wonder for a minute if it was just a local thing... Which is why I simply wrote that I`d never heard に with it.

We spend way too much time in hospitals, filling out forms and answering questions - which always include allergies.

No, because an allergy is something you *HAVE*, not something you *DO*.

I checked if it was a Kansai thing, too, but nope. Just a me-thing.

Everyone always says 何々アレルギー... Or 何々のアレルギー.

Cant remember what that kanji stands for. Is that machi? Naa... cant be.
Can you spell it in hiragana/katakana?
