All done. fairly hellish exam, but it probably was the best i could hope seeing as I hated and didn’t really understand the course.

I’m off to play some golf and relax for the first time in 3 weeks.

We headed off to Climping to go swimming on the hottest day of the year so far but it was low tide rather than the high tide I’d predicted. It was also windy.

Tan, your non functioning texter is getting my goat.

The most commonly documented causes of anaphylaxis are:

Food (Peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc. Shellfish, Fish, Milk, Soy, Wheat, Eggs)
Medications (Penicillin, Sulfa antibiotics)
Insect venom (Bees, Wasps, Yellow jackets, Hornets, Ants, especially the fire ant)
Latex (Gloves, Balloons, Condoms)
Exercise

See www.allergic-reactions.com/home/causes_main.html

No mention of plants. I got a horrible attack of itching, swelling, etc, that went on for days after squeezing through a privot hedge in Worthing.

Is there much fresh fruit about? Maybe you should go on a plain rice and fresh fruit diet. They say it’s usually what you crave that you’re allergic to. Noodle soup, mayhap?

Apis is the best homeopathic remedy. Have you got any?

I reckon it’s something to do with Thailand. Something you’re eating, drinking, touching, being bitten by, anointing yourself with – soap, perfume, insect repellent – that wasn’t happening in India or Vietnam or Cambodia or Laos. Get out of Thailand, I say!

How small is a ‘small plate’? It sounds pretty big to me. In fact, it sounds massive. If they appear mostly at night, think of bed bugs. Are you using your mosi net?

I did think of doing that no food thing you did do, and then intriducing little by little to see if it wa somthing i’m eating, but as there is little avriety here, and the same spices go into everything, it seemed very hard to introduce one thing ata time. Maybe it’s fermented fish sauce, which i think they put in everything! COR BLIMEY I sey!!!!!!!!

well hail all,

I spoke too soon on the subject of the old swellings. They appeared again last night with a vengence!!! Curse all biting insects i say. The antyhistamines seem to be keeping them at bey. I thought they weren’t doing anything, but geoff suggested that they were stopping thwem from getting any worse! The joys i say!!! I will take the last doxis as have onlt ten left so might as well as it is not them i am allergic to! Took a picture of swelling on arm and leg to show you all – bet you can’t wait! If they have not gone by the time we get to bali, then i am going to get one of those allergy test things in OZ or NZ to see exactly what it is. Geof had one and found he was allergic to house dust!! Most useful.No ned to woryy thogu as they don’t get bigger than a small plate. Whats tyhis about jul’s flights??? What is going on in that area? Are you still coming to bali with us or not sure now??? WEll, we were going to go to the other side of the island but decided against it and stayed here. Hellishly hot and humid. Freely sweating in the shade. Getting a ltitle fed o the hot weather now and dreaming of the cooler times in NZ.

Glad to hear you celebrated in the appropriate and approved manor. Are you sure it was cod?

Liv – what did you get for that lego thing you did? Hope the exam goes well.

Lovr to all
Tanya
