Episode 11 • Health

I’ve suffered from allergies since I was a little kid. Having lots of allergies can be a real pain in the neck. There are so many things I wish I could eat but I can’t. Peanut butter, for example. You have no idea how sad I was on the day I found out I was allergic to peanuts! And then eggs, peaches and lots of other fruit. I’ve mostly learned to live with them but a couple of months ago, I got really scared. I was out camping with a bunch of friends and there was a lot of pollen in the air. I normally just sneeze a lot and that’s it, but, that time my allergies flared up and it got more and more difficult for me to breathe. I soon realized I was having an asthma attack. My friends panicked and before they could do anything I passed out. My friends got so scared and brought me to the hospital immediately. Now, every time I go camping with my friends, they always call me to make sure I’ve packed my inhaler!
