When seasons change, my allergies become severe, bringingdramatic reactions to my senses. Spring is the mostextreme. During the months when everybody immersesthemselves in the beauty of flowers, I can only admire thescenery while suffering from rhinitis, which brings meendless, uncontrollable glistening snivel flowing like water.
(Left) I drew a picture of the pain I felt from the mouth ulcerscaused by my allergies. It's as if someone threw a bomb intomy mouth and blew it open.
(Right) This is how my nose feels when I have allergies. I feelthe itchy spots are densely packed. The spots explode withextreme itchiness at the same time, making me feelunbearable.
