Allergy strikes back. But passion will win this time.

So yes. The worst allergy is hitting hard on me again. But this time, not during the peak Hay fever season, not in the 60%-population-allergy-for-sure Japanland or in the lovely evergreen Minnesota spring time either.

-I am suffering from severe allergy in the driest New Mexico where I had lived healthily for 2 years of my life.

By severe I mean I cannot breathe, and the nose is completely stuffed by non-running-mucus and I can sneeze 7 times in 30 seconds (that feels good btw).

I first had severe pollen allergy when I was in deep depression in Japan. (At least that’s the justifiable reason that I hate Japan. Literally the Japanese atmosphere made me very sick.) Second time was during the stressful senior spring term in Carleton. I would never imagine that it would hit me again in New Mexico, and the worst is:

I suspect I am now allergic to the dust in the blacksmith shop.

This is really a nightmare! But I am not going to let those invisible particles to ruin my productive life as a blacksmith! They may attack my sinuses, but not my passion to this hottest craft! I am going to fight. I have the baking soda-salt-alkaline solution and the Neti pod as my defensive weapon. And I believe my determined mind would defeat the infected body.

Breathe while I can. The allergy strikes back. But there’s always a new hope.

    You mean the neti pot? I used that too. Funny I thought I posted a comment already about allergies. Well, I’ll post again. I had really bad allergies this year too. I ended up being on about 3 different medications… plus using the neti pot (I hate that thing but it works).
