Chasing Daydreams

Don’t know if it was the daing na bangus I ate for lunch or the shrimps I ate yesterday or if it was food poisoning or an allergy. Whatever it was, it really downed me. Less than an hour after lunch, my pulse started racing, then the throbbing headache, then the fever, and finally red splotches showed up all over my torso, legs, arms, and face. I had to make an emergency exit from work, went home, drank antihistamine, and slept. After a few hours I awake to find my pulse normal, no fever, and no red splotches. The headache is still there but much less painful. I really should be careful with the food I eat.
