No.

You get envenomated, you get a reaction. The reaction is to the venom, not any of this "allergy" BS. People who don't have a reaction to a hognose bite (1) weren't envenomated or (2) were able to get the animal loose before it chewed any venom into them.

It has nothing to do with bee stings, food allergies, etc. That's all forum/internet bull crap. Allergies to snake venom are extremely rare, even to people who are consistenly exposed to them.
