| | It has become apparent over the last day that I am going to have to move away from Nebraska. At least from July through about mid-November every year. I have the unfortunate problem of being severely allergic to corn pollen. Do you know how hard it is to live in Nebraska when the corn is pollinating? I'm afraid that if I drive past a fully pollinating field I will go into anaphylactic shock. Yesterday I drove past a field that was almost to the point of pollination, although the tassels had not yet emerged, and yet my eyes instantly became itchy and my nose burned. Several hours later I drove past the same field, this time with my car windows up, and began feeling nauseous. My voice became scratchy and my throat started feeling tight too. I have found from experience that I cannot share a room with unshucked corn or my eyes will be itchy. I'm going to try to go see an allergist this week, and hopefully we'll get something figured out. I'd rather not die because I'm allergic to my state... not cool!
