Crawfish, shrimp, clams taste filthy, I can eat albacore tuna, black tip shark and occasionally salmon- if I can stand to smell them it's a good sign. But even lobster slams my throat into air gasps just to touch- and my lips pouf up lumpy as well, chuckl, shrug, I don't miss them cuz I have never been able to enjoy them.
TEXAS: its a whole nother world, thankfully !
Well this morning it is 65 here. Had a nice cold front come in and cooled it off. I forgot what a cool breeze felt like it had been so long!
Carrie.....The doctor probably meant the enviroment is different with plants and dust that carry things you haven't been subjected to before. I know to take Alavert this morning because the wind out of the north brings Mountain Cedar and other things my nose and eyes can't tollerate.
I am off to play in the river today....hope everyone has a great day!
Have fun Sheila and Herman!!!
I will be helping at OSGray park.
Pick you up some local honey, helps get your body used to all the things in Texas that you stand, of course, when Texas wants to, even the allergy pills are overwhelmed, chuckl, you will see people wearing dust masks who aren't giving in to our wealth of pollens infiltrating the air.
kitt, lobster, shrimp, crab, crawfish, all those things with legs are crustaceans, and if you're allergic to one, you're probably allergic to them all. (my kids' father was horribly allergic to them, so I always had to watch them to see if the kids were allergic too.) Fish fish, like tuna and salmon, are quite different except for the little detail about breathing underwater. While you're traveling, maybe you'll be near some actually fresh fish! Fish shouldn't smell "fishy" just like meat shouldn't smell like a dead cow, lol.
I've heard that about local honey, too, but I've also read studies that refute that belief. Honey can't hurt, though. Whatever I was allergic to was definitely not airborne, but it's gone now and I hope it NEVER returns.
Oh Carrie , I've heard that about honey too . Seems to me if it's clover honey , or whatever , it may be true you could build an immunity to clover , or whatever . I don't see it helping with anything else tho .
No matter what I eat , my nose and sinuses stop up for awhile .I guess , looking at me , you'd know I'm not allergic to food . LOL (Or maybe I am )
for me it is the sap of various things that I some times have to trim esp. Privit If you don't know about Privit it is a hedge plant that spreads like mad when I have to trim it I wear a full face resperator otherwise I am gasping like a fish out of water..
Fifty years ago , the nurseries were selling privit rootings for a penny apiece . Enough people in this area bought them that they spread worse than Johnson grass . I get little sprigs come up all of a sudden the last coupla years that I pull up around 35 a season . Mowing them off just makes them sprout out thicker at the bottom .We have fields of them .
Local honey is good. Add your herbs, and mints to it to flavor it-use in that good ol antioxidant- a cup of hot tea, yummmm. My allergy is to me- the whites of my eyes puff up and burn like fire when I get a viral sinus infection- I dont even rub my eyes or wear makeup, no no no.
Digger....I am alergic to too much food, makes me swell up! LOL! Sorry, couldn't help myself.... ;-)
Well, I happen to have the same affliction Sheila!!!
I LIKE honey in hot tea with lots of lemon .
Affects me the same way Sheila
Are we goofy , or what ?
Yes we are, but it is fun!!
Boy, I was NEVER goofy back home, no way, you guys are SO MUCH GOOFIER than DG members on the east coast, omg, NOT. I think goofy tends to find goofy, and I found you guys, or you-all, so there you have it. Goofy will out, or goofy of a feather tends to goof together, or haven't they thought of a cliche for us yet?
Texas allergies, that's all
You mean I've been allergic to Texas goofiness all my life? Or maybe my kids are allergic to goofiness, and not dust, mold, mites, animals, crustaceans, homework, wheat, and whatever else the doctors are saying? Hmmmm, it somehow sorta makes sense.
Your learning .
