For while it is going down I can smell the putrid aroma of the milk. As it is sneaking down my esophagus, it is frigid and causes my internal organs to go numb.

One of my core values is living a healthy lifestyle, and to do so I like to run on the treadmill or track for three miles each day. As I was carrying out my normal routine at the local gym, I started noticing my breathing acting up. I was diagnosed with asthma during my eighth grade year, however my regular albuterol inhaler generally does the job. Not only was I having a very hard time breathing, despite the use of my regular inhaler, I actually began to have an asthma attack and slide right off the end of the treadmill. As humorous

As many, many people know, I am allergic to many, many things. From food to plants to cloth types to medicine, I have severe allergies in a lot of areas. Although I have countless allergies, there is one allergy in particular that has grown to be more and more inconvenient for me. The allergy? Peanuts. I am anaphylactic, meaning I have an extremely lethal allergy. Before now, I could be around peanuts and I’d simply get a rash and a raw, slightly swollen throat from the scent of it.
