Medic Alert Bracelet

I just got my medic alert bracelet.  http://fiddledeeids.com/compartment-medical-id-bracelet-p-61.html
I like this one because I can put expanded information and phone number inside it.  I put No Dextrose IV, and listed my other allergies, also put down my husbands name and phone number.  It came with extra inserts so you could change it in the future.

Garden - I will have food!

I am sore from planting 4 blueberries, and a pear all 18 x 18 inch holes in clay.  I lost my footing on one hole and fell...  lol:-)  I looked around to see if anyone was looking!  :-)  I was at the top of our hill and there are houses all around, no fences.  I also turned a 6 x 8 section of sod for more garden space so I can get the rototiller through it.  I also watered the current planted area from my rain barrel.  Its straight up hill about 10 feet or so from the barrel to the garden.  I just put the barrel in last week.  I filled 2 watering cans at a time.  Its rest time waiting for the cans to fill.  :-)  I enjoy it and it keeps me busy.

Vehicle Airbags have corn based talcum powder

I just found this article:  http://www.allergy-details.com/food-allergy/corn-allergy-mine-field/
Another challenging source of corn, for those allergic, is in vehicle airbags. When the airbag goes off, the powder containing corn based talcum powder is released from the airbag into the vehicle. With the passengers breathing and their clothes and skin covered in this powder reaction can be most unfriendly. The reaction is also ill timed, especially immediately after a car accident when people are distracted.

I guess I need to have my epi-pen handy if I get into an accident and my airbag deploys.

Rain Barrel

We put in a 55 gallon rain barrel, and it filled over night.  We only had 1/2 inch of rain.  Wow, I am excited that I will have water for the garden and save on the water bill.

What am I allergic to today?

Corn, sunflower, peanut, tomato, olive, coconut, cane sugar, mold (have to be careful that things like cabbage, grains, dried tea, potatoes, grapes, and such don't have mold) I am thinking the issues with agave nectar is mold related too.  Issues off and on with beans, wheat, white potatoes, rice, eggs
I got 4 bell pepper plants today, I am hoping I haven't become allergic to those too.  Nightshade family(tomatoes, potatoes, peppers) and one of my favorite foods.
Then of course the seasonal: grass, weeds, and trees.  I could put mold down here too, but it has become so much a part of my foods allergies lately.
I am going to revisit eggs after my chickens start laying.  I am hoping they will be ok on organic feed.
