Where we live in Arizona, it is usually pretty warm. We pretty much never have to scrape our windshields or shovel our walkways. This is one of the good things about living here. Sometimes, however, we do have a cold spell. Not usually too cold, but it might reach the freezing point over night. There will be warnings on the news and you will see a blanket pop up in a neighbor's yard protecting a plant or two. This happens so rarely that most people don't really do anything special to prepare for the cold.
This week we have had an especially harsh cold spell. Two nights in a row of below freezing temperatures. Dropping the kids off at school this morning, it was only 28 degrees. Some people prepared for the cold - others did not. Many lawns were full of ice this morning because people didn't turn the sprinklers off. Even the school left the sprinklers on and for the second day in a row, they had ice.
Not just a little bit of ice - big long icicles kind of ice. One of the sprinklers must have broken because there was ice up in the trees and all over the gates. The ice reached out all the way onto the sidewalk and a couple of feet into the street. There was no where to walk on the sidewalk into school that wasn't coated in a nice layer of very slippery ice. I don't think anyone expected to wake up to a school yard full of ice today. But that is what happened.
That is the way allergies are. They don't always behave the way you think. They don't announce that they are going to cause you problems. There is no schedule. Sometimes you will go a long time and not have any problems. But then -- something will happen, usually very unexpectedly. This is why it is important to be prepared for allergies. This is why you always need your medicine with you.
When you have an allergy attack, it can happen quite suddenly, or it can take awhile. Sometimes you will think you are ok at first, but then you realize that you need help. The best way to avoid problems is to have your medicine with you. However, when you haven't needed it for awhile, it is easy to start forgetting to bring it everywhere you go.
This is why the Epi-Watch is so ideal. You don't have to remember to be prepared, you just have to wear your watch. It is easy to always wear a watch. With allergies you always need to be ready for the "just in case." You just don't know what you might wake up to the next day.
The Epi-Watch makes it easy to be prepared for the unexpected -- because you never know what might happen.
