That’s hilarious. Usually it takes at least a couple of hours before that happens.

What countries did you move from and to?

Living in a hot and humid climate I treat every piece of clothing like this. Once it has touched me it goes straight into the laundry bin. Except for jeans, which I do air/sun dry a couple of times before rinsing them.

Doctors are still people and people make mistakes.

Yet it’s hard to not hold a grudge against a doctor telling you you’re a liar. Let alone if multiple say the same thing. Especially if they do it “by the book” so to speak.

The experience I had here, another country, the GP just looked at my eczema (basically eyes, fingers, spots on legs and arms all red and itchy af) and said without a doubt in her voice “allergy.” And was she right about that. So don’t give up hope.

Edit: Not that I meant to say you should move to another country. Just that because here it is more humid, there is more mold, so more similar cases might have passed this GP in her time practicing.

I’ve had eczema all my life. Mostly on my face/arms/legs, whenever exposed (summer/winter). Have been prescribed a shitton of steroid-based ointments. That never worked. From GP to dermatologists, they never knew coz “eczema can’t be explained”, so they always “assumed” stuff, blaming the heat, the cold, the dust, the sun, the water, too much soap, too little soap (calling me dirty).

Not once did they (offer me to) test for allergies. Just assumed it was something unexplainable. Just live with it.

Even been called a liar when I told them those steroid-based ointments actually make it worse.

I moved to another country, still had this eczema. Worse actually. 1 GP visit and an allergy test later it appears I have a mold allergy.

Doesn’t help I have lived and still live in an even more humid environment. Rain is the worst, because the spores come out. But with the help of some anti-histamines I have been eczema free for a few years. Mold thrives on steroids, so I avoid that.

Except when you’re from the Netherlands.

? Enlighten me.

Is there liberal Islam?

More corrupt than the US, unfortunately.

Any business with cheap products and little traffic. I live in a high rise with a view on a street with many little shops.

In my street there’s a shop for wedding dresses 2-3k $ a pop. I understand it’s not high traffic so whenever there is a car parked in front, usually for a couple of hours, it’s probably a customer.

Then there is some convenience stores. All have heavy traffic, from the corporate one to the local mom&pops shop.

Then there is this small sushi joint. Open for 3 hours everyday. I’ve never seen any customers sitting inside or walk in. Can’t find them on our local food delivery. Twice a week there’s the same blue Mercedes parked in front.

Not difficult to spot which business is sus.

Sad thing is, the police pops into that sushi joint the same day that blue Mercedes was parked in front.

Probably a cover for bald people.
