Because of all the near death incidents I had in my early years (2 - 13) You already know about my catfish incident. Starting at 2 yrs. I chewed on a rag that was soaked in malathion. Resulting in having my stomach pumped out at a Clovis, NM hospital. I'm highly allergic to wasps, bees, poison ivy. Got blood poisoning from poison ivy, nearly killed me. Stung by bees and wasps so many times, I would swell up so much my breathing was affected by it, barely made it to the ER in time on many occasions. Even today, I have about 15 minutes to make it to a hospital before my system starts shutting down. And I don't have an epipen, so just have to be real careful. I do carry benadryl on me at all times, it gives me a chance to make it to the hospital.Why did they tell you that???
