Why is superman allergic to kyptonite?

now i know that this question is kind of stupid but i have always wondered why kryptonite is life threatening to superman? what is it about kryptonite that brings the man of steel to his knees and gradually kills him?Why is superman allergic to kyptonite?basically it's an element from his home planet that has been subjected to the same forces as Superman (a trip through space, the radiation of the Yellow sun, etc.) as well as the destructive forces that blew up Krypton, and it causes it to radiate at a specific frequency making it toxic to Superman (much like Uranium, Plutonium, et al are poisonous to real world humans)



while those examples are slow to happen and permanent, for the sake of storytelling, Kryponite works faster, and the effects are undone by time and the absorption of Sunlight.Why is superman allergic to kyptonite?I dont think it was ever fully explained. All I can remember is its a mineral or something from his home planet. And its found on earth due to the fact his planet blew up. And something to due with earth, and superman on earth, and how kryptonite effects him.Why is superman allergic to kyptonite?Because that's what the nerd who made him wanted to be his weakness. Ask him if your so into it
