Posting Temporarily on Hold Due to Allergies


Nearly twenty years ago I developed seasonal allergies after moving to this midwest city. They have mostly been at bay with the occasional need for medications such as Claritin, Allegra, Flonase and cocaine.



But this year they are worse than ever. I have been defeated.




(Scanning electron micrograph of various types of plant pollens that cause allergies.)




My eyes itch so much I cannot keep myself from rubbing them.




Now they are swollen shut and I can hardly see.




I feel like a mole.




And moles cannot type due to large hands nor see to post blog posts.




I will return when I am better.




PS. Pine pollen in dog stool looks like Mickey Mouse under the microscope. #2 is pine pollen.
