Story 29. A Sudden Danger!
My sister had a scare at dinner the other day.
After eating her meal, her tongue suddenly swelled up.
Dad immediately took her to see a doctor.
The doctor said, You are allergic to something.
What?
My sister was very surprised.
I have never been allergic to anything.
The doctor explained, An allergy happens when your body overreacts to something.
Allergies can be caused by food, drinks, or even air.
Sometimes even a tiny thing can become a big problem for some people.
The doctor continued, “Allergies can happen at any age.
I have an 88-year-old lady who came to see me because she developed a new allergy.”
My sister was still puzzled by her new allergy.
“How do I get rid of it?” She asked.
“Well, you need to identify the source of the allergy.
Then, like the saying goes, prevention is the best cure.”
