Cold Comfort for Allergies

The snow is here and it does reduce the itching from the skin reactions, but it also seems to heighten the reactivity of my bronchial tube.  What that translates into is that my skin feels better but I am wheezing whenever I go outside in the cold.  There is still something blooming out there because whenever the ds or dh opens the front door I start sneezing and my nose gets itchy.

Yay cool temperatures!

Have you ever noticed that hives don't itch as much in cool weather?  I love the cool soothing weather.  Also, fewer things are blooming. grass slows down and the frost kills off more blooming stuff. 

Fall colors are wonderful too. 

Temptation

Should I or shouldn't I try some shrimp?  The last time I ate them, I seemed to get a reaction, but it was around the time I became allergic to ibuprofen so it could have been the ibuprofen.  They are so delicious!  But is it worth the possible reaction?

What do you think?

If I were sure it was the shrimp I would definitely stay away from them.  But there is that reasonable doubt....

No I have not left the planet for a hypoallergenic haven

I am still itching my way through life, reading all the labels and watching the food alert lists.  You thought I became allergic to the internet didn't you?  Nope.  I'm back.

Did you know that latex and bananas are related? Well, they are.  If you are allergic to latex and think you are safe with bananas, you might be flirting with a reaction.
