I’m a freak. A mutant. An enigma as Brian says.
My allergies are out of control. When I was younger, I went through years of allergy shots and treatments, only for the allergist to tell me they had done nothing for me, they weren’t helping, and I shouldn’t waste my time or money. So I suffer every allergy season. This season has seemed to be worse than prior ones. I can’t even sleep through the night, not even with 24-hour allergy medicine.
It’s the whole itchy, watery eyes…itchy throat, itchy ears! Oh yes, everything above my neck seems to itch. And scratching only makes it worse. Then there’s the sneezing and the sniffling and the rounds of being so stuffed up you feel like your head is going to explode.
Pollen has a distinct taste. If you ride in the car with your windows down and your singing and having a good time when you get home run to the mirror, stick out your tongue and look. I guarantee you (during allergy season) you wil have a film of pollen on your tongue. Oh I know it’s disgusting but it’s true. And I can even taste the pollen. I can smell pollen. It is my arch nemesis. So anyway, for you allergy suffering people like myself, brush your teeth, your tongue and do the mouthwash rince whenever you come in from outside. It will help you for that following night. Trust me!
