People with allergies
Bart Simpson
Bart has been mentioned to be allergic to various things. He is allergic to cauliflower[1], butterscotch, imitation butterscotch, glow-in-the-dark monster make-up[2] and shrimp.[3] However, Bart has been seen eating shrimp before[4] and once stated that he "ate so much shrimp".[5] so it is unknown why he was allergic to shrimp.
Bart fell into a vat of "Peanut Shrimp", causing him to have an allergic reaction.[3]
It is possible that he found out that he was allergic to shrimp later and it wasn't actually shrimp he ate, just something he thought was shrimp or looked like shrimp. It could have been prawns which he may not have been allergic to.
Lisa Simpson
Lisa is allergic to pollen and has hayfever. She seemed to have a bad reaction to it although it may have only been because of the plants in Cypress Creek as she is unaffected elsewhere.[6]
Marge Simpson
Marge is allergic to sea food, including shrimp, which was passed down to Bart.[7]
Seymour Skinner
Seymour Skinner is allergic to peanuts.[3] He banned any peanuts from being brought into Springfield Elementary School once as a result. He fell into a vat of "Peanut Shrimp", causing him to have a reaction.[3]
Milhouse Van Houten
Milhouse is allergic to honey, wheat, dairy, non-dairy and even his own tears.[Source needed] He also says that real milk can kill him, though he often drinks it, meaning he may have been wrong.[8]
Mr. Muntz
Mr. Muntz is allergic to peanuts. When he left to get some milk, he bought a chocolate bar, not knowing it had peanuts in. He bit and swelled up, looking like Elephant Man and was taken into a freak show, where they kept throwing peanuts at him.[9]
Waylon Smithers
Smithers is allergic to bee stings. A bee once stung him in the eye when he was on a tandem bike with Mr. Burns. Burns then made Smithers cycle to the hospital, where they crash outside.[10] However, he was once stung by bees with nothing happening at all.[11]
