The correct answer to this question is Yes. Allergies can occur at any age. Some people can have allergies from the time they are born. Others may develop it later on in life. Scientists have been unable to identify why some allergens occur later in life. However, they do know that an allergy comes from the immune system identifying a substance as harmful.
The body could identify a substance such as a flower or perfume as harmful and wanting to hurt the body. It could also identify foods or animals as such. When an allergy is known, the person should do their best to stay away from the substance to prevent the symptoms from occurring.
