Is This Culture Shock?
Apparently, I've developed an allergy to peanut butter in the past couple of months.
I've eaten it 3 times since I've been here. The first time was right after I got here, and I had no problems...
The second time was a few weeks ago when a friend made butterfinger ice cream. (Yes, it rocked, and was completely worth the allergic reaction I had later).
The third time was like 20 minutes ago. The past two times I've eaten peanut butter, the left part of my upper lip has grown to quite ridiculous proportions.
I've eaten peanut butter all my life, only to have allergy problems in the past couple of months. Could this be some kind of weird mental reaction to all the stresses of cross-cultural living?
Peanuts are among the highly alergy foods. Yes, it can come on suddenly, even after years of no trouble. Be careful not to eat anymore. One friend of mine has to go to the hospital when he even accidently gets some peanuts. That swelling you have in the lip, he has in his throat!
Keep up the GOOD work. My friends and I are keeping up to date with you on your blogspot and are talking to Dad about you a lot. He seems to want us to talk to him about you a lot lately. Cool, huh?
