The bigger question is how it never came up before, considering she's a fox herself.
Well, it's possible to be allergic to members of your own species. It's also possible to have an autoimmune reaction to substances produced in your own body, and if it's IgE-mediated (IgE is the specific class of antibodies that fights parasites but also causes allergies), it's technically an allergy.
Think the most clearly-documented "allergic to humans" condition is human seminal plasma allergy, I think? Basically an allergy to human semen, yeah. With itchiness and redness occurring after exposure. Still very rare though.
With other allergies or allergy-like symptoms triggered by stuff like human dander or blood transfusions or donor milk breastfeeding the exact allergen is hard to figure out and might be something foreign mixed up in the blood/milk/skin flakes instead (or the antibodies themselves being transferred with blood/milk, not the antigens), but with seminal plasma allergy it's usually some kind of prostrate specific antigen.
There is also a new syndrome being documented called "People Allergic to Me" syndrome (yeah, that's what they call it), which are allergies or allergy-like symptoms that might be caused by elevated levels of certain gases and volatile compounds emitted by certain people... but this whole thing is vague and flies in the face of conventional allergy theories, so... Then again there is some new research coming out for this.
There's also the possibility of developing allergy as you age, OR something becoming allergen as they age. As demonstrated that it is possible to develop meat allergy from immune reaction from a certain tick's bite, every kind of allergy is based on immune response toward certain allergen. It is thus also possible that, the hormone changes during the growth period of nine-tailed Vulpos was the factor that triggers immune response and not the 'stabilized' version that Suzu's dad expresses.
TIL nightmares need to be completely rational and grounded in documented medical science.
The funny thing is, the more learned you are, the more realistic your nightmare would be, generally speaking. I've seen people waking up from their sleep covered in cold sweat because they dreamed they put the wrong dosage of epoxy hardener...which might sound funny for most people, but not for people who build custom room-sized aquariums.

That's honestly very interesting (reminds me of my old work nightmares), but there's no indication that Vulpisfoglia has any degree of medical knowledge beyond what is needed to most efficiently stab people to death, and probably some basic first aid from being a mom. This is a parenting nightmare, the fear of being medically required to separate herself from her daughter, which does not require any advanced knowledge of immunology.
