Today, I had to go to the hospital for an allergic reaction. Turns out, I'm highly allergic to cherry blossoms. My wife and I just bought a house and moved into a new neighborhood. Almost every block in this neighborhood, including my own, has rows and rows of cherry blossom trees. FML

Juicy

Today, I got excited when I learned that the fruit on the trees by my apartment building was ripe and free to pick. I picked myself some juicy summer plums and enjoyed them. Minutes later, my tongue started burning painfully. Turns out, I'm allergic to plums. FML

Today, I tried to do my leaf collection project for biology, which ended with me being hospitalized because of an allergy attack. I have no idea what I'm allergic to, but my doctor says I should just assume I'm "allergic to all leaves, ever." FML

Today, I had to be rushed to the hospital when I started sneezing uncontrollably and got a huge rash. It turns out I'm highly allergic to a chemical in most cleaning supplies. Great. I just got a job as a house cleaner for a very rich family. FML

New addiction just dropped

By Never going outside again - 14/06/2024 05:00 - United States

Today, I found out about allergies suddenly getting worse out of nowhere when it happened to mine. I can hardly step outside without feeling like hell when I get back home, which was never the case before, and I'm going through allergy medicine like a drug addict (almost). FML

Today, I finally got the courage to ask my boss why the flowers I got her for her birthday the other day were in the conference room and not her office. She told me she was allergic to them and she had such a bad reaction that it made her go home early. I made my boss sick on her birthday. FML

Lucky for you cherry blossoms aren't in bloom for very long. Hopefully you are just allergic to the flowers and not the actual tree. I say suck it up for a couple months and get some allergy meds.

I'm allergic to cherry blossoms too. Luckily, there aren't too many trees around here. Good luck, OP!

Sounds like a pretty neighborhood. Sorry to hear that you're allergic!

Keep some Zyrtec stocked and carry an EPI pen OP. Having allergies nowadays is something that can be avoided at a majority. Spend less time outside or just stay away from them the best you can.

Start going to an allergist. He can build up your antibodies to it and hopefully help you not have so many reactions to it. However, I feel your pain for random allergic reactions. When I got checked out here in Oklahoma, their response to my "what am I allergic to?" came with the answer "Oklahoma."
