Why were people able to eat wheat for 10000 years and now have gluten allergies?
People have been consuming wheat for thousands of years due to its nutritional value and adaptability in agriculture. However, modern wheat varieties have been selectively bred for higher yields and altered gluten content, which may contribute to increased gluten sensitivity in some individuals. Additionally, changes in gut health, dietary patterns, and environmental factors may also play a role in the rising prevalence of gluten allergies and intolerances today.

You mean when you need to sneeze but it suddenly goes away at the last moment?
It's frustrating and maddening, and it happens to all of us.
Some tips:
When you feel a sneeze coming on, close your mouth, flare your nostrils, and inhale slightly and sharply through your nose. This may help you to complete the sneeze as it will strengthen the sneeze impulse sent through your nervous system and make it less likely to fritter out and leave you in frustration with your nose burning way inside, sometimes even your sinuses as well! (I have so been there!)
If you're troubled by a lot of sinus and sneezing troubles, you may suffer from year-round or seasonal allergies. Millions of people do; there's no shame in it! If the trouble is very severe, you may need to make an appointment to see an Allergist. Although panels can be run to test for common household and outdoor allergens, not everything can be covered. But your allergist will know what to do from there if it gets to that point.
More likely, you're only occasionally troubled by sneezes - incomplete or otherwise - and if you follow some of the basic procedures to control allergens such as dust mites around your home, you should be okay.

What the allergic reaction is, is basically an over reaction of your body fighting the substance.
Can another persons saliva cause an allergic reaction?
I guess its possible. for example, say you were kissing that person, or came into close contact during them coughing or something, and they had eaten, or are wearing a scent, or have touched something you could react to, then its certaintly possible. I believe that their are tests you can take to more accurately find what your allergic to. Hope this helped a bit. (:
