    Do plants have allergies? What if the plants are allergic to PG? What kinds of allergies would plants have?

    This is serious discussion for serious business of the internet! We must have the answers!

    Define allergies.

    I would imagine that plants have a simplified immunity system, so it's less capable of being 'tricked'

    ps: I realize this is anything but a serious thread. That's the kind of facetious jerk I am.

    Did you know that if you alter the chromosomes in a plant in a way that would give a human Down's Syndrome, it actually makes a plant stronger and healthier?

    That would assume that plants have immune systems.

    Plants are also allergic to dinosaurs, Pokemon of the Ice, Bug, Flying, Fire, and Poison elements.

    Flying Mullet, did you know that cabbages can receive "blackleg" or "black stem" from certain fungi (such as Phoma lingam), where lesions in the stem near the soil surface become sunken and dark, and may girdle the stem.

    Plants have simple immunity systems. It is mandatory for all organisms to have a sensory system to alert it of .. irritants.

    Even single-celled organisms have a rudimentary system for cleaning it out of irritants. However it's so simple that we cannot categorize any of it as an allergic reaction.

    So does that make you an uncategorized irritant? A sort of uber-irritant? I guess that makes you Asian. QED.
