52. I've had the same experience with allergies!

Wed Feb 9, 2022, 07:07 PM

Feb 2022

In the beforetimes, I could not grocery shop without having tissues always at the ready. It was worst in aisles that were heavily stocked in scented products, especially the ones with laundry an cleaning products. I would usually sneeze more than once in those aisles, but even outside of them, all those scents permeated the air to the point where my nose ran constantly, the WHOLE time I was in the store. Started wearing masks, and *poof* no tissues necessary!

(Kind of ironic that I can't buy my scent free laundry detergent and fabric softener without being bombarded with scents that make my allergies go into overdrive, but I digress.)
