Is an allergy to penicillin inheritable or genetically influenced?
I’ve never really thought about it, but my grandmother has a penicillin allergy, my father (her son) has a penicillin allergy and I have a penicillin allergy. There’s no history of it in my maternal family.
the answer is DON’T KNOW. Although there are loads of evidence in favour of it and contrary to it, none of them is conclusive. So, I am afraid, you will have to wait for some more years before any conclusive reply can be given. Until then, the answer is MAY BE.
