      It seems to be partly inherited, but is triggered by things in the environment such as animal hair or some foods and made worse by stress or hormone changes

      I don’t know, i used to get it a lot when i was very young and then it just kind of went away the older i got. So i expect its a combination of things, like the genetics of the individual and then factors relating to the environment they are in but no single one reason causing it.
