[13:10:48] <Bytram> how's things today?
[13:11:15] <AzumaHazuki> so far okay. i feel a little less clumsy and half-asleep than yesterdat
[13:11:23] * AzumaHazuki hopes today will come with 100% less bottle droppage
[13:12:06] <Bytram> sounds like a plan!

[13:12:40] <AzumaHazuki> uuugh, allergies
[13:13:34] <Bytram> I prefer the warmer weather, but the plants seem to think it is open season on some humans who occasionally like to breathe
[13:16:57] <AzumaHazuki> yyyyyup. mine aren't as bad as they used to be but i still need cetirizine or fexofenadine to make it through mid-June through mid-September
[13:17:51] <Bytram> I used to take meds... but now just stubborn my way through it
[13:18:26] <Bytram> although with COVID-19... maybe I should see about getting *something*

[13:19:00] <Bytram> lol
[13:19:54] <AzumaHazuki> famotidine (histamine H2 antagonist/possibly inverse agonist) miiiight be helping protect some people against covid
[13:20:10] <AzumaHazuki> and some of the lung damage looks a lot like massive degranulation of mast cells (i.e., histamine release)
[13:23:46] <Bytram> ummm 'histamine release' being the cause(?) of the mast cell degran.
[13:23:54] <Bytram> ??
[13:24:24] <AzumaHazuki> other way around
[13:24:36] <AzumaHazuki> histamine is generally pro-inflammatory, and is stored in mast cells
[13:25:37] <Bytram> so, the mast cells go bonkers and that causes a release of histamine?
[13:26:09] <AzumaHazuki> it's a normal reaction in most circumstances actually. but i do wonder if one thing covid does is cause a lopsided immune response
[13:26:20] <AzumaHazuki> this has been hinted at already, actually
[13:26:56] <Bytram> lopsided == overreaction?
[13:27:19] <Bytram> time for some benadryl
[13:30:32] <AzumaHazuki> i would avoid first-gen antihistamines
[13:31:22] <AzumaHazuki> they're centrally-acting and have some powerful antimucarinic (anticholinergic) side effects. second-gen (loratidine, cetirizine, debatably fexofenadine) are peripherally-acting and don't have anti-ACh effects
[13:31:58] <Bytram> kewel! Good to know! THANKS!
