Allergy Cures

I noticed my seasonal allergies are practically non-existent after taking IVM. Anyone else?

Not non existent for me, but much improved.

it seems that some allergies can be tied to e.g. Strongyloides infection.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27566864/ :

Conclusion: Serologic testing for strongyloides may be indicated for patients with allergy-type symptoms and a suggestive exposure history. Patients with strongyloidiasis and *primarily cutaneous symptoms* experienced significant symptomatic improvement after ivermectin therapy.

(not saying that this is what happened in your case, I just searched and found the first result already interesting)

Depending on where you live, lockdown and masking measures could also explain less exposure to pollen and thus diminished allergies.

But yeah, studies exist, at least on mice: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21279416/
