3rd shift blues

[Andara Bledin]

I have no issues with pot. But the flavored blunt wrappings (and anything cigar-related at all) makes me dry heave. Then again, so does the smell of coffee. >_<

Yes, it is possible to have a reaction to pot. Don't know if it's an actual allergy or not, but my sister is hyper-sensitive to it. Just the slightest scent is enough for her entire body to go numb - as if she were experiencing the most intense high possible, and only on the slightest hing of the merest trace of a wisp of the smell. It would make it difficult for me to visit her (as I am a card-carrying Medical Marijuana Patient.) That is, except that she lives on the east coast, while I'm on the west. And I never bring any with me when I go visit. (Can't. California medical approval is only valid in California.) It's a bit more difficult at home, though, as my wife is also super-sensitive, but not to the same extent. (I have to smoke outside, but the lingering odor doesn't affect her.)

So, yes - it is possible to have a serious physical reaction to it. I'm sorry that you are one of those, and you were subjected to it anyway. But I do like the cop's comment of, "you know, they'll search your pockets." Hat's off to him!

Never knew you could be allergic to pot. As a matter of fact, I don't know if I can't smell pot or don't know what it smells like.

I have an allergy to the cold. Can't have ice packs or cold air on my skin or else they break out in hives. These pictures were taken last year and are the result of a 15 minute dog walk in a brisk breeze. I can have cold drinks but they need to not be too cold or a frozen drink or my breathing gets cut off.

Cold Urticaria

My Dad has that. The first time it really got bad he was holding a Big Gulp full of ice and Pepsi. He dropped it because his hand swelled up to where the fingers straightened, and he couldn't hold the cup until it went down again. Supposedly, its not technically an allergy, but you get a similar histimine release.

So THAT'S what Ox has!

Ox is my ex-CW from the wholesale club who always claimed he was allergic to ice. In bad winter weather, he would cover up every inch of skin he could.

I always called bullshit on his claims ("You can't be allergic to ice, it's just water!"), but I did see his arm swell up where some ice had rubbed against it, so I said he was just having a reaction to the cold.

Looks like I was right. He's not technically allergic.

Yes, feel free to feel superior because the massive histamine reaction that acts just like a major allergy attack is not technically one by strict medical definition. I'm sure Ox will thank you for clearing that up as his face swells into a balloon. His face will be turning purple with joy.

And lack of oxygen.

But mostly the joy.

I don't mind to make light of a genuine medical condition. Ox, for all that he was a freakishly strong beast, was also a bit of an ass. He got fired from the wholesale club tire bay after taking a customer's car for a joyride.
