| - I must admit, I like The Hives, the Swedish neo-punk band, they have catchy tunes. I don't however like hives you receive from an allergic reaction from sushi.
Yes, it is true, Ra tried to kill me. I went to this Ra, not following my mantra ABRA (anything but Ra) and met my parents for dinner. For some unknown reason they love Ra. I figured , what the hell, it's their favorite place so I'll just roll with it. (or sashimi with it) The food was fine for Ra standards, all I had was my normal assorted sashimi plate with a side bowl of rice. Keep in mind I eat sushi almost every week, and sometimes twice a week. Only once before did I get a little sick from sushi, if I remember correctly, I didn't touch the stuff for like 6 months :(
When you get some sort of "food poisoning" you really try to figure out what the hell went wrong that day. As I awoke Sunday a bit itchy, I noticed some small red spots appearing and disappearing. Throughout the day I realized, I was have an allergic reaction to "something" I have NO allergies, so this is new for me.
As I thought back, I had to blame the sushi, it was the only unique thing I had all day. I kept wondering, what fish was to blame? The tuna, octopus, white fish, salmon? I think the culprit was either the white fish or octopus, I eat neither that often.
I have to say, having the "hives" isn't as much fun as listening to The Hives.
I hate Ra, so much more now. ..HATE HATE HATE it. I mean, once you are poisoned by a place, it looses it's luster. Yes, eating Sushi is a risk, but I have been an avid sushi fan for about 6 years now, and never really had this type of problem before.
Either way, benadryl works wonders with hives. I am no Elephant Man, but the redness, and itching does make you feel a bit uncomfortable, and also conscience of your appearance. I just wonder if I'll be off sushi for a while.....
