Today prof barlow showed us an article, whereby a woman was sent to A & E after she was kissed by her bf.... how amazing? well, it turned out that she has immediate hypersensitivity reactions towards shellfish... apparently, her bf ate some shellfish and kissed her right after... the minute amount in her bf's mouth is enough to cause her anaphylactic shock... *scary* this is so serious that if she never get to the hospital in time, she might be dead? so, now everyone knows, a kiss is not just a kiss... especially when you are truly allergic to a particular foodstuff... hahaha better check what ur bf eats? =) and of cuz, check wat are you allergic to? only 1-2% of the population actually develop true allergy... rest assured that ur bf can still kiss you after eating seafood, if you only develop rashes hours after eating seafood urself...
interesting fact no. 2... there are increasing ppl found to be allergic to bird's nest?? :s the study was done in sg... wah... heehee~ not everyone is fated to eat good stuffs yeah? prof barlow said it's the proteins in the bird's nest that would actually cause allergic reactions... and more interestingly, if you are never exposed to the foodstuffs before, you will never develop an allergic reaction towards it... hm~ suddenly i recalled that i am allergic to a particular drug called voltaren... the first dosage was alright and it eased my pain... i developed symptoms when i took it for two days... :s *dangerous* and i got to avoid it for the rest of my life... heng, its not some nice food... else i will be very sad... =(
just a minor update about my health... these few days in sg, it has been raining heavily... such that my mood is totally affected... not just feeling grey, i am not motivated to finish the remaining reports as well... somemore there's a test on mon... sianz... yesterday, i started limping again... haiz... fated... this time i sprained my left leg.... previously i sprained my right leg twice... but luckily it is just a slight sprain... not really swollen but it hurts... so i became the limping queen again!!! >_<
