Oh boy, wow, okay.

Here we go.

So from the moment I heard that this allergy existed, I knew I wanted to run as far away from

it as humanly possible, which then made it obvious that I should dive into it sooner

rather than later.

So in fact, when I sat down with this week's guest, the first thing I said was that I'm

a little anxious about mortality, and she said she'd listen to other episodes and...

I picked up on that and I was like, oh, we have this locked and loaded.

She had my number.

Now I've wanted to do a project about allergies for over a decade, and each time I write

out allergies, my computer autocorrected to eulogies.

And I get a little shiver, I get a little scared, and then the wind whispers at me, halloween,

one day everyone you know and love will be eaten by a fungus and rotting back into

the earth.

And so I guess why I don't like it.

Even just the word eulogies.

Heeeybeeee jibis!

Okay, I can tell you though, after recording this episode, I felt way better.

It's weird.

So you're going to have to listen to figure out how and why that worked.

It's probably going to be a long-ass episode.

I don't know, I haven't put it all together yet.
