Non Sequitur

I was debating on whether or not to get my allergy shots today because I was rather busy at work, and that of course started me thinking about why allergies exist. Basically it is the body overreacting to a foreign substance as a perceived threat when in fact the substance is usually harmless.

The worst cases of allergies involve the body turning on it's own tissues.

Sound familiar? Maybe it's just me . . . too bad there aren't shots for that.
