I don&#8217;t even know what.  I was broken out in hives (all of which felt like they were full of bees) from head to toe, and even my fingers, throat, tongue and eyes were swelling.  I wolfed down some Benadryl when I noticed that the problem was going from &#8220;slightly annoying&#8221; to &#8220;this is kinda scaring the bejeezus out of me&#8221;, but what really scares me is that I don&#8217;t know what it was an allergic reaction <em>to<\/em>.  I didn&#8217;t handle any hay last night at the farm while we were dealing with Hannah&#8217;s situation, I didn&#8217;t eat anything yesterday that I hadn&#8217;t eaten a zillion times before, and I don&#8217;t recall coming into contact with anything foreign enough to make me say &#8220;yep, that&#8217;s it &#8211; <em>that&#8217;s<\/em> what I was allergic to.&#8221;  It was more than a little bit scary.  I felt better this morning, but at the same time still felt like chicken fried crap because of the Benadryl &#8211; that stuff leaves me in a fog for days, from a single dose.  I was also worried about whether or not it was a contact thing that I might pass on to Evan during a diaper change or other routine contact; fortunately, this seems not to have been the case.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately this happened at night when I&#8217;m not the only person around to take care of Evan; if that had happened while I was here alone with him, I think the situation would&#8217;ve been ten times scarier.  As for right now, I&#8217;m still a little itchy and my hands\/fingers are still a bit swollen, but really my main problem is still trying to come out from under the Benadryl.  One Benadryl.  It&#8217;s kind of embarrassing to realize how easy it is to put me under like that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time last night, I was having a major, major, major allergic reaction to&#8230;something.
