Allergies are all Mental

As a person who is prone to allergies due to my fair skin and recessive red hair genes, I can say with fullest sincerity, allergies are not all mental, despite Jack Donaughy "overcoming peanut allergies with sheer willpower."

A. JD is a fictitious character.
B. If he were real, he was probably never allergic to peanuts.
C. Because you can't just overcome allergies with will power.

This time of year is a real creep though. Sniffles run rampant. It's partially due to the coldness outside, and it's partially due to the stuffiness and dustiness of houses. Most people don't change their air filters yearly, as they should, so they collect dust and spread it around when the heat's turned on.

In other words, my name is Brigid Marshall, and I'm addicted to Dayquil and Nyquil.
