Saigon Poison

Food poisoning. That's what happened. As my skin broke into hives, red itchy patches all over my skin I felt I was covered in a blanket of fire ants. It was quite painful, no matter how many antihistamines I took, I was red enough to make a lobster shy.

Strange that some Pho Ga and coconut water could do this to me.

My doc gave me some prescription medicine and asked me to meet with an allergist next week. The meds are helping, but I was reminded how frail and vulnerable human beings can be.

And now, I must prepare to fly to Seattle.
