I always thought it was odd that I had so much less trouble with seasonal allergies in Louisiana where it's so green and stuff is blooming all the time than I do here. But I am specifically allergic to almonds (eating them and, apparently, breathing the pollen) so moving to a town surrounded by almond orchards was SO SMART.
Anyway, I would worry that an itchy mouth would escalate to swollen airways and nobody wants that.
OK, putting on closed toe shoes and getting out the mower.
Eta: glad you got the proper dosage eventually, ita.

I do worry about that a little, but apparently the itchy mouth can just be that. Meh. I mean, I'll ditch the eggplant, but I'm going to keep eating (cooked) peaches, etc!
Isn't it Cass who will eat avocado despite being allergic to it, and just takes Benadryl with it? (I'm not necessarily advocating that, but I'm just saying.)
Huh. I like avocados, but I can't imagine finding the taste good enough to eat it with an antihistamine chaser.
Food allergies are so weird. It's strange how very specific the body can get in what it rejects.
I have cleared my desk. Turns out it is very dusty under there, but dust is irrelevant for the moment. I think next I'll clear off the chair and the oak shelf, which will cover most of the horizontal areas. Then I will be able to put off tackling ALL THE BOXES on the floor no longer.
But first, lunch break and Dr. Who. I am feeling pretty happy about seeing my desk.
I have horrible seasonal and skin allergies, but have never had an itchy mouth. I think that is weird, too.
It's pouring out there and the wind just knocked over my neighbor's plant on the deck (I was going to resue it, but she's home and dealing with it.) So of course, Loki was crying to go out front. Fine.
Open door, he bolts down the stairs, pauses, lets out the most mournful cry and runs back to me on the porch, all big eyes and injured expression.
He's not crying to go out anymore.
The dog-shaming website has disappeared! Nooooo!
My neighbor has an awful immune reaction that causes part of his throat to swell shut/paralyze (I'm not sure which is the right term.) He can breathe, he just can't swallow. But they cannot figure out an external trigger at all. They think it might just be his immune system randomly misfiring. He describes at being stuck in mid-gag. It's freaky and frightening.
