Let me clarify for you my allergic relationship with peanuts.

Yesterday I really wanted a salty snack, and all that was available at the time was dry roasted peanuts. Unsalted, but better than a sugary snack at the time. I had just opened the package when I remembered that I was currently being allergic to something else (probably the inch-thick coating of green-yellow pollen that's been collecting on every surface). So I reluctantly put the peanuts back.

The part worth noting about this story is that the peantus were perfectly fine for me to eat until I realized that I was at that moment, experiencing a mild allergic reaction to something else. In the absense of all other stimuli, peanuts are awesome! However, for me they act as a catalyst when there is already something else in my environment that I am known to be allergic to. Hence my evening's sniffles would've turned into continual sneezing. Had it been mild eye-itching, that would've become sniffles - that always happened at my Nga Boo's house, as she used to have cats, and then just a dusty house, and always offered me peanuts. Had it been continual sneezing, it would've made me reach for my inhaler.

Maybe I should just avoid peanuts during the entirety of allergy season, as these times I'm always innundated with allergens.
