yeah cats give me hives lol. and grass.
and maybe, Wolfin. I didn't think of that but I did use the knife to carve wood (that's what it's meant for) so maybe I'm allergic to that...

That could be a possibility. It's impossible to be allergic to your own blood...your body would reject it similar to how it'll reject improperly matched blood types. So we can rule your blood out.

I wish you my best, and I hope you'll soon not need to worry about the blade being a vector for allergens.
