Can allergies start by an incident with a dog in which the person becomes fearfull of it?
My girlfriendwas playing with my dog (6 months after we got together) and there heads bumped each other. She got a very large cut in her mouth (almost needed stiches). Ever since then a very bad form of allergies has gotten worse every day. Could this be becuase of her new fear for my dog. My dog is a pitbull mix. And is there any evidence anywhere on this subject if so in order for me to show her?

I think this is an emotional thing, you are born with skin allergies, so if she’s getting a rash of any kind - I think it’s a mental thing.

she’s not allergic. she’s scared. she probably gets a tingle in the lip when she see’s him from reliving the experience
Yes. They are called psychosomatic allergies - meaning its all in her head. The evidence would be if she went and got allergy tested. Also, you can google search the topic.
And for the first answerer, you aren’t always born with skin allergies. Allergies can develop over time and later in life. But, seeing how this one is so closely related to a traumatic experience, it’s a different story.
This is more like someone who eats spoiled hot dogs and gets horribly sick. They get queazy anytime they see or smell hot dogs - the memory is linked to a physical response.
A lesson in basic biology seems necessary for her. Send her to school. :)
Allergies are NOT caused by fear.
