For some reason, soy sauce was on the list of stuff to avoid. So, I decided to play it safe that I'd avoid soy altogether. That's when I noticed it was in everything, including bread. At first, my diet consisted mostly of turkey sandwhices. But I kept having skin problems, namely my skin was getting oily and breaking out. Then I went with the salad thing, and the skin got better. After a few weeks, I went out for Spaghetti, and I got sick and my skin got bad, probably from the bread sticks. It turns out I may have had a soy allergy, and maybe a wheat allergy, all along, but didn't know about it. I've had to learn not to eat on autopiolot.

I don't know for sure, but I have a few theories. It may have happened when I went to China in 1993. I worked for Adult Protective Services for about 3.5 years. Then I worked at a nursing home for about 4.5 months. After that, I worked for a rural Hospice for six months, and had to go into a few shadey nursing homes. Finally, I've been working at a daytime homeless shelter for about a year now. (To be fair, I was the only employee at this shelter to test positive, so it's not likely that I was exposed there.) When you live on the edge...
