Episode 4395: Attack of the Allergies

Life | September 4, 2008 · 9:14pm

When I was younger, I was allergic to cats. Whenever I went near them, my eyes would get all red and watery. We didn’t have any cats back then, but some of our relatives did (and they either lived too far away, or the cats didn’t come out very often). Thankfully we (I think one or two of my other siblings were allergic to them as well) grew out of it, and we got ourselves some cats. :) And our cousins (Jeidai and co.) got themselves some cats. And we lived in a cat-happy world. :)

Well, a couple Sundays ago, I noticed I woke up that morning with that same allergic reaction I got from the Hot Pockets. As time went on, these allergic reactions turned into massive hay fever attacks, especially whenever I was in my room. Each morning, I’d wake up with the same reaction along with some crusty nose interiors (I had a runny nose all night). And my throat would get all tickly.

Of course, it bothered me. I spent all last night vacuuming my room (areas that haven’t been vacuumed since earlier this year or maybe last year and had piles of timothy hay…), thinking it might be the dust. But I didn’t look into the causes of hay fever until today. And I saw…

Hay fever involves an allergic reaction to pollen. A virtually identical reaction occurs with allergy to mold, animal dander, dust and similar inhaled allergens.

And I thought about how I used to be allergic to cats and wondered if it had come back. :O It made sense. Muffin spends half the day lying on my bed. And because she’s very sleepy and not-excitable at this time, everyone (mainly my mom) would furminate her, leaving her hair and dandruff all over my bed. And I sleep in it, literally (uhh…well, sort of literally).

Well now. I just washed my binary blanket (the topmost one, i.e. the one Muffin sleeps on). And because she decided to sleep on the blanket underneath while that one was being washed, I am now washing that one as well (heck, I might have to wash all my blankets and bedding).

I asked my mom about it, and she said that yup, it is possible. :cry: So, Muffin, Peach, I guess I’m allergic to you two. :cry:
