⚠️ The trap
Not a false friend in meaning, but the trap is the gender: 'allergia' is feminine. Learners often say wrong article. More importantly: Italian doctors say 'allergia a' (with preposition 'a') while English says 'allergy to'.
To say "same" in Italian:
allergia (correct)
"allergia" in English means:
allergy
Example
"Ho un'allergia agli acari della polvere."
"I have an allergy to dust mites."
