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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't imagine finding the taste good enough to eat it with an antihistamine chaser
I have no difficulty imagining food tasting that good--it's what moves Pepto sales, after all, and Lactaid, etc. I'm just spacing on the antihistamine downsides--people react badly to them--is it the sleepy thing, to the pills, or the racy thing? Is there anything other than those.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I've never had itchy mouth either. Bizarre.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds horrible. Poor guy.
Lawn is over half mowed, taking a break. I even took the cut height down a notch so maybe it will stay looking tidy slightly longer...

The dog-shaming website has disappeared! Nooooo!
WTF! That's awful! I wonder what happened? I was sharing that link with nearly everyone I know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just feel cotton-headed on antihistamines, and generally my allergies aren't as bad as that.

Sigh. I noticed today that Oz's ears seem to be missing hair and the end of one is crusty. I think it might be a sunburn. Or at least, I am hoping it's a sunburn and nothing worse. (The inside of his ears look fine and he's not pawing at them.) Keeping him inside is going to be a PITA.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Something similar happened to Sammie after his first and only dose of Frontline. He ended up looking like he had mange. The hair still hasn't entirely grown back on his ears.

When Pumpkin was all flea bit, the tips of her ears were all bumpy and sparsely-furred. Vet said she just reacted more strongly to the bites than some.
Good god, this weather is insane. I don't even want to be out driving in it. And it is looking strongly like I won't have need to be unless it magically stops in the next half hour.
