zavodilaterrariumNow that it’s getting hot again, I have to contend with my mozzie allergy once more. Last night, I cried myself to sleep because being itchy for hours is overwhelming, and I hate insects being in my room. Doesn’t help that I had just barely recovered from my hands being covered in the bites of other bugs. Currently, I have at least 6 mosquito bites. The only general body part that is safe is my head.
Not sure if I brought it up before, but I seemingly developed this allergy sometime in during either winter or spring of last year. My best guess as to the cause is that my immune system was finally worn down by a) long term medication, b) stress, and/or c) my allergic rhinitis becoming more notable after turbinate reduction. It would have been about the 4 year mark of everything getting way worse generally, 2 year mark of turbinate reduction and 24/7 allergic rhinitis, and somewhere under 2 years of daily corticosteroid/allergy medication.
It’s not like I want to skip classes, but I’m just so, so tired. I want to cry everyday and everything is much worse in spring and summer. In a country that only snows in the mountains, my seasonal depression comes from the discomfort of the heat and insects. I’d rather it be consistently cold all the time. At least I’d be able to wear long sleeves without dying to protect myself from bugs and UV.
