Writer's Block: Bless You!

[Error: unknown template qotd]

So many things that I know I'll leave something out. MSG, pollen, mold, all weeds, perfume, freshly mowed grass, scented soap of any kind. A certain type of detergent that I don't recall the name of right now. Scented candles. Hot dogs. Lace. Chocolate (except for a certain brownie ordered from HSN, without preservatives, or any fat, sold around January of each year) causes instant nausea and migraines, so that's a possibility--thankfully, I've always found it disgusting.

Allergies I discovered when they almost killed me: NSAIDS in any medication, since that causes my stomach to eat itself. Mango, pineapple, kiwi, and passion fruit--when these combine, one tiny sip of a drop or two causes my throat to close completely. Thankfully, this was discovered when I was already in the hospital and near death from severe anemia and double pneumonia. I assume I would insantly die if I tried them individually, so I steer clear. (So much guilt from the poor dietician that gave the tropical fruit drink to me, and said, "It's not like it'll kill you!" She kept apologizing every Sunday for a year, since we went to the same church.)

Oh, and what dentists use to numb an area causes my face to swell up--so they special order a specific type (not really Novocaine) that doesn't do that. Possibly latex, too, so they use special gloves.
