Allergies

I went and got tested for allergies today since I have been sneezing a lot in the past few years. They did the scratch and stick test and I got to sit around in a reception room with my shirt off reading people magazines while they waited for the red welts on my skin to rise. Apparently, I’m allergic to pecan pollen and cats. Ironic, especially since my neighborhood is wooded with pecan trees including the one in the front yard. I also have a cat. Good thing is, I’m not really that allergic to anything else except for grass pollen, no mold, or dust allergies suprisingly considering the way I keep house.

    I’ve always heard that they can’t really conclusively rule out mold allergies since there are so many different kinds. Did your doctor address that at all? I don’t know if it’s true but you might keep it in mind.

    p.s. Would it be horribly rude if I asked if you have had any job news?

    Well, they tested me on like 6 different types and then a mold mix which I guess is like a potpourri of exotic molds and special things like that. I wonder if it smells good?
