      haha, that’s a cute question.
      Unfortunately, nope 🙁 You can only be allergic to something that goes into your body after touching you. For instance, pollen grains are allergic when you inhale them. Some people are get eye allergies because of stuff that gets stuck in their eyes and of course, people get allergic to some stuff they eat like peanuts. Since you don’t eat homework or stick it into your eyes and nose, you can never get allergic to it.

      This is exactly the kind of question i’d be asking at school! 😎
      Varun is right – but, i think you can be allergic to ink so maybe you could take that angle…Maybe paper-based homework could be considered a paper-cut hazard and therefore too dangerous to touch… 🤣📚📝
