Anesthetic consists of combination of many drugs so to say unless there is documented allergy to one or two medication it will not be an accurate statement.
The answer is yes, but that is exceedingly rare. You did not specify what kind of anesthesia or why you would like to know. If you look at what studies show, true allergy to “anesthesia” is very rare.
