The world is contagious

Everybody is catching colds or flu or some sort of ickyness so I am cutting back on the allergy meds so that my hyperactive immune system is sure to keep me from catching any of the nastiness that is going around. So far so good.

My eyes are itchy but I am not sick. It worked last year and the year before so hoping for this year too. I can't get the flu shots because I am allergic to chicken egg whites and guess how they grow the flu shot stuff.

Read a book recently that talks about allergies

It isn't about allergies. It is about Autism, but it does talk about how food allergies can affect a person with autism's behavior.

The book: Nourishing Hope for Autism: Nutrition Intervention for Healing our Children, by Julie Matthews

Most of the book is about autism, environment, nutrition, biochemistry, etc.

Yay its raining today.

The sneezing from yesterday is gone. The rain has washed all that pollen out of the air.

Of course that means the grass will be rocketing into bloom tomorrow or the next day and I will be back to sneezing.

I am making some yummy wheat-free, soy-free, dairy-free blueberry muffins this afternoon.

Allergic to the Dentist

My dentist forgot about my latex allergy. I was wondering why my throat was itching/tickling after a few minutes. By the time I was heading out of the office I was coughing (too much itching and irritation and swelling.) I have since switched dentists (Several mistakes each visit started to make me very nervous.)

Even though I reminded him of my allergy when I arrived, he forgot during the appointment. So I became allergic to his practice. The new dentist is very careful. All through the visit he kept mentioning to the assistant about allergies and they were bantering about it back and forth. The assistant asked if she can get workmans comp if she becomes allergic to work.
