I just want to record that I am allergic to pears. But, it's my favorite fruit. And it's been years since I've eaten one.
Tonight, as an experiment, I decided to try eating a pear. I thought that it wasn't pears that I was allergic to, but the skin. And not really the skin, the tree pollen embedded in the skin.
So, I first peeled the pear. And then ate it.
And now my mouth and lips are itchy. My food hole feels all weird.
I took a sudafed. It's a decongestant though. I don't know if it does anything for allergies. I don't know why I thought it did something for allergies.
Now, my left eye is all red and itchy.
But, man the pear was good. Mmmmm. It was delicious.
I think I'm gonna try an apple next.
