I was talking with my mother on the phone the other night. I sounded terrible because of my allergies; I have suffered from allergies since I was sixteen years old. Every spring around this time I suffer from stuffy nose, itchy throat, and itchy eyes. My mother is completely aware of this as is the rest of my family. However because of a certain panic, I just cant’ remember the name; my mother is freaking out and begging me to go to the health center. I have no intention.



It’s the latest thing. It’s the new West Nile, Bird Flu, and Anthrax. It has completely sent everyone into a panic. As soon as word got out about this pig flu everyone has come magically come down with one of the symptoms. Calm down fools. My goodness, we go through this every year and every year it turns out fine. It is terrible that people have died, but that is how it all starts. It is unfortunate yet that is what happened with the e-coli in the spinach, and the salmonella in the peanut butter.

Once again I am sorry that people are dying, but I have seen this before just with a different name. We are sending ourselves into a panic and it is unnecessary. It almost seems like people thrive on this type of stuff. It is a way for our society to relate and connect with one another.

• Fever (above 100.4 for babies 3 months and younger, and 101.1 for everyone else), plus
• cough
