Day 72: Allergies

 

As the trees are blooming and regaining their life and color, I can feel that old familiar sensation creeping through my nostrils and into my sinus cavity. My eyes slowly begin to swell and fill with water as a small tingling headache wraps its roots deep into the back of my neck, preparing to grow quickly into a full-fledged beast.

Although rain has currently grounded the floating allergens for a few days, it's only a matter of time before the dampness dissipates and they are free to take to the sky again in search of sensitive noses. That horrid yellow powdery substance that causes so much pain and discomfort; the byproduct of new life that hinders and irritates the lives of those affected most by it.
