Food Allergy

If you’re a kid with a food allergy, you know how annoyed people can get with just how easy it is to murder you with a stray Reese’s piece. Have you wondered if that makes you a Halloween buzzkill? Finally, our quiz will let you know for sure!

What are you dressed up as this Halloween?

1. A fireman. I want to be one when I grow up to help save people’s homes all around California.

Which candy are you hoping to get while trick or treating?

1. I really love Smarties and Sour Patch Kids! …

“A French tourist has been ordered to pay a €1,000 ($1,200) fine after attempting to fly out of Sardinia with more than four pounds of local sand in his luggage.” — CNN, 9/7/20

Where were you born?

1. Sardinia, Italy. Well, given that you are sand, you were never born. You were formed over a several-thousand-year process of sedimentary erosion which eventually deposited you onto your Italian beach.

2. Pound, Wisconsin — born and raised!

What is your favorite aspect of your physical appearance?

1. Depending on the beach, Sardinian sand can range between pearly white and iridescent pink. You are truly a visually stunning tourist draw. …

Mommy told me yesterday that the country is reopening and I will be going back to preschool. I must admit, I’m elated. While it has been a privilege to attend Zoom daycare on Daddy’s iPad for the past few months, I really miss the in-person experience. It has been too long since I’ve enjoyed the most fundamentally American of pastimes: picking my nose and flicking the fruits of my scavenging into Annoying Amy’s hair during read-aloud. Eating my boogies on camera while muting Ms. Debby’s escalating pleas that I stop just doesn’t do it for me.

Alas, I digress.

I have recently come to know that a tall singing blonde lady has been trying to warn us about COVID-19 for years and we have been too naïve to listen. Or at least to listen critically enough.

Here is a selection of my peer-reviewed, empirical research findings:

Cruel Summer (Lover, 2019)

Prophetic lyrics: “Fever dream high in the quiet of the night, you know that I caught it.”

The first sign of catching a SARS-CoV-2 infection is often a fever.

All Too Well (Red, 2012)

Prophetic lyrics: “Cuz there we are again in the middle of the night. We’re dancing around the kitchen in the refrigerator light.”

The clubs…

As a Polish person, I am well-versed in the art of cheese and potato. So, it is only fair that I guide you all on how best to use this pandemic bounty.

Here are some of my most popular cheese and potato projects for you to try:

1. Cheese wedge doorstops. Wedge your doors open and never fear they will close without your permission again.
2. Also effective: potato doorstops. Feel free to alternate between cheese and potato across rooms to best match your décor.
3. Potatoes are great home workout weights. This project is particularly useful for those of you looking to get into the lucrative world of e-commerce. …

Food Allergy

A food allergy reaction sends a person to the emergency room every three minutes in the United States. At least, that was the statistic cited before the coronavirus pandemic.

As Emergency Departments across the country fill with COVID-19 patients, people experiencing other health emergencies are missing. Potential heart attack and stroke patients are avoiding the one place that can help them because, suddenly, it’s a dangerous place to be.

However, allergic reactions are unique emergencies because they strike on a gradient. An allergic reaction victim may quickly recover after self-administering oral antihistamines or die within minutes of allergen exposure. On…
