  1. Yesterday I discovered alcohol can provoke histamine.

    The inadvertent research process involved a day-old bug bite, a tiny glass of wine (seriously, 3 tablespoons max - I'd hate to think what effect a standard glass could have), some very intense itching, the development of a hypothesis, and the discovery that said hypothesis was well documented by others more professionally employed in the field.

    My foot meanwhile, concerned lest this important scientific connection be insufficiently backed up by field data, continued to itch fiercely.

    Conclusion: avoid alcohol entirely until bite is gone gone gone.

  24. On Sunday, we met up with some friends, along with our granddaughters, for a few hours of park & fishing. It was real nice, except for the no-see-ums & the fact I forgot the bug repellent.

    I now look worse than I did with measles or chicken pox & the itching is right up there with the chicken pox. I'm miserable & taking benadryl to help. I haven't had to use it much in the last few years, so it leaves me sleepy.
