How can creationism explain all the allergies our bodies can have?

Before the fall our bodies were designed to be perfect. There would have been no ailments such as allergies or diseases. After the fall, and the tree of life was removed the process of decay and eventually death began. Allergies developed as a result of mutations that would not have occurred in Gods original design for the world. Allergies, diseases, death, and suffering are not reasons to doubt God; they are reasons to remember that we need him to save us out of the mess we created for ourselves. That is the bad new. He offers good news of salvation and eventual restoration to the original design.

This post is currently removed because of commandment 1. I think it just needs a little revision but in order to be a debate topic a clear thesis is needed. It is expected that rather than pose an open question which Christians would have to rush to try to answer you would make a strong claim with rational justifications which Christians would need to acknowledge or contest (through rational arguments).

Allergies are a part of the curse of original sin. God, in his infinite wisdom and love, created us with the foreknowledge that we'd screw the universe up and then curse us for it. Oh, and we were held responsible even when we had not yet eaten of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Hallelujah.
