Things I am allergic to

Everybody is allergic to stuff. We humans may have pretty awesome immune systems, but they freak out sometimes and see a piece of mold or peanut or shellfish and go "OMG! We're gonna die!" and make your skin break out in horrible horrible hives...

Anyway, I thought I'd share what I am allergic to with all of my devoted readers.

1. Something in the dust that lives in old books
I don't know what it is, but I am allergic to one (possibly more than one) substance in old books. I get uncomfortable after about two hours in old book stores, which is sad because they have cheap books and I am a cheap person who likes cheap books.

2. Bananas and Melons
They make my mouth feel itchy and strange. Personally, I don't think I'm missing anything. Melons are annoying and squishy and bananas are only good in bread.

3. Band-aid Adhesive
I rediscovered this when I removed a band aid today, and my skin looked all funky. Perhaps if I was less clumsy, and therefore had fewer cuts, and therefore was exposed to less band aid adhesive, this would not have happened.

4. Vicodin
Remember how I am not allowed to take this medicine? I'm allergic to it. It made my skin all itchy. You know, going off of Vicodin early after having your wisdom teeth removed is an enlightening experience. Seriously, you will completely swear off natural child-birth. You'll be like "Gimme some drugs nurse! I don't wanna be in pain without drugs ever again!"

5. Stupidity

6.A mystery substance
I do not know what it was that caused a massive allergic reaction about three years ago, but it was bad. I woke up in the middle of the night and my legs felt itchy and strangely heavy. I couldn't sleep. Then, when I got up, I discovered that there were hives on MY ENTIRE BODY (almost). Naturally, being a slight hypochondriac, I decided that I had flesh eating bacteria. I woke my mom up, and she was scared, and she drove me to the hospital. The doctor was like "It's just an allergic reaction. If it was really flesh-eating bacteria, and it was that widespread, there would be nothing more we could do." Translation: 'You overreacted small blonde child. Good thing that you don't have flesh eating bacteria or you would be DEAD. Lols!!!'

I do not know what caused the reaction. I thought that it was cayenne pepper, but I have eaten it since without incident. I think that it might have been soap.
