Allergy Attack
August 30, 2006
I have allergies. When I eat certain kinds of food, my body has reacts "negatively" to it. When I was young, I would break out in rashes whenever I have allergy attacks. It was itchy and so uncomfortable. As I've gotten older (not necessarily wiser), I don't break out into rashes anymore. Good, right? WRONG!!! If it is a mild case of allergies, my face puffs up. As in. My normally big round eyes turns into "chinita" eyes to the point that I can barely see. It's like a big puffy face with two slits. You could compare me to a blow fish…hehehe. If it is a severe case, my allergic reaction is that I cannot breathe. My airways swells up thereby hindering passage of oxygen into my body. I've seen a simulated version of what is happening inside my body in an episode of CSI (or was it House?) and I assure you it wasn't a pretty sight. It feels like you are drowning or someone is choking you. In one of my worst attacks, my mom almost performed a tracheotomy on me because I was already turning blue. But since I was such a vain person then, I did not allow it (nice sense of priorities… hehehe).
