Medical Stealth

I know I said I wasn't posting any more until after I got back, but I don't leave 'til tomorrow and this was worth note.

I got my camp physical today.  It's always fun going to the doctor.  They always ask if you have any allergies when you check in and I always think: "Hmm...  Iron burns, salt repels me, I'm compelled to count fallen rice grains, sunlight sensitive is an understatement, and ringing bells cause me a lot of pain.."

And then I respond: "Nickel gives me a rash on contact."

These aren't normal human allergies.  I mean, they're certainly signs of synesthesia, contact allergies, obsessive-compulsion, and light sensitivity, but this particular combination?  I'd sound like a hypochondriac!

On a related note, something occurred to me when I listed those banes in my head.  Only certain things display such weaknesses.

This narrows the field considerably.
