I have allergies. I made it almost sixty years without them, but then they showed up—BANG!
Or should I say, “Ahhchooo!”
We Nowaks are famous for the ferocity (and volume) of our sneezes.
I’m allergic to dogs (we have a dog).
To cats (two cats)
To birds (Alex the parrot lives in my office/radio room.)
To dust mites (We have a dog, two cats, a bird and two teenagers, so we have plenty of dust and the mites that go with them.)
I’m also allergic to pollen. Lawn pollen, and tree pollen.
It’s spring in Virginia. My normally while car is yellow. My normally brown wooden deck is yellow. When it rains, the puddles leave yellow trails behind as they evaporate.
Which got me thinking (always dangerous)—given pollen’s purpose, does that mean I’m now afflicted with a sexually transmitted disease?
