celiac whining

[rm]

I am currently gluten-poisoned from licking an envelope yesterday. An envelope of my signature stationary. Which I usually don't lick because I can seal it with wax for the general hand deliveries I usually use it for. But I sent Patty a letter on it and had to lick it. And now I am sick as hell.

At my office we seal envelopes by running a plain old glue stick over the glue on the envelope. We are pretty well-informed on allergies and sensitivities as we make medical-grade air purifiers and a lot of our core customer base is people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and absolutely ridiculously bad allergies.

But mostly I guess it's because the receptionist doesn't like the taste of envelope glue.

That is the suck, though, that such a small amount could do so much damage. I'm working on an article about MCS at the moment, so I've been researching sensitivities and allergies and the like, and it's really pretty sobering. And a lot more common than most people realize.

Feel better.
