Yeah... I've gotten used to that... I'm allergic to goose down, too, and it turns out that I'm allergic to the stuff in the thermalfoam stuff. Bleh.

As a kid I was allergic "to everything under the sun, including sunlight"... molds, dust and dust mites, pollens from every type of plant and especially grasses and trees, nearly every animal they tested for but especially horses and cats (which I both loved), chocolate, and mosquito bites always swelled up to be about golfball-sized. Sunlight would make my skin break out in a rash if I stayed outside for more than ten minutes and didn't use sunscreen.

It's better now. Whew.
