Caper allergy and mycobacterial infections

I believe the allergies we have reflect the infections we have.  Often times what can kill the infection causes a strong reaction from the infection and if the infection remains...if it isn't killed off completely we develop an allergy to the substance.  Our immune system associates the reaction trigger with the infection itself.

what is in a caper that could cause allergy?
