Where we find out how Darth Vader came to be… sorry, wrong story.
Yes, I’m freakin’ allergic to antihistimines. Ain’t that a drag? When I have a serious reaction, I have two available meds. An Epi-pen, which is a spring loaded syringe of ephinepherine that hurts like hell, and prednisone. Predisone is a corticosteriod that works against allergic reactions by shutting down the immune system.
Huh? Yep, shuts that sucker right down. All the little guys in there raisin’ hell and trying to kick the allergens out just go right to sleep. Not a bad deal.
If you live in a bubble.
I work with a katrillion people in an office building with ventilation from Alcatraz. Somebody gets sick, everybody gets sick. Got any idea what happens to somebody on immunosuppressants – somebody with NO immune system – in an environment like that?
Pneumonia, with a capital PNEU, that’s what. So I see my doc, and she sends me to my allergist, who says – “let’s try Benadryl. Nobody’s allergic to Benadryl.”
