Certain 'object relations' are typical of patients with allergy, especially those with asthma and eczema. This type of person constantly seeks to get closer to the object. The capital desire of the allergic patient is to get so close to the object as to merge with it. This wish to make identification of oneself exists in all human beings, but in normal object relations the subjects can let go of their objects, whereas the allergic person seems to be able to exist only with the support of the object.
