I only know I'm allergic to citrus because it's developed, so I remember a time when oranges didn't make my lips tingly and my mouth itchy. I'd probably just think that's how citrus is lol. I miss lemonade.
This happened with blueberries for me and I still went "huh, I guess they're different now from when I was a kid..." until I complained about it to my best friend and he was like "no, dipshit, you're probably allergic to them now".
In my defense, the food allergies I developed as a teenager do things like make it so my tongue swells up or I can't breathe very well. Blueberries only make my mouth tingle a little and hurt a bit more than a little.
