I know of a similar case of someone allergic to egg. He was turned down because if you have egg allergy you can't have the Yellow Fever shot that is compulsory for flying to some countries.
Bear in mind that even a mild allergy can become deadly. One day eating strawberries can only cauuse you a mild rash, the next you eat it and get anaphylactic reaction.
This said, NEVER EVER voluntarily offer information about your health that they cannot find out by themselves. They don't want to take any risks (of being sued if later you croak on the job, that is
) so if they find out even the smallest thing, you are out. You will be screened anyway, so IF there really is something relevant, they'll find out.
Even if they had found out about your allergies (wich I doubt, since to find out the'd have to allergy test you, and I have never heard it done for CC) they still would have to prove you were aware of your condition to accuse you of lying.
