From Hungary to Canada
In college, I began to experience seasonal allergies. I did not take them seriously at first. After moving to Canada, they disappeared for a while—but eventually returned and became a nearly twenty-year issue. The usual itchy eyes, runny nose, constant sneezing, and cold-like symptoms grew into something much harder: for a decade, I could not breathe properly through my nose.
Then came two terrifying anaphylactic reactions—first to a tiny piece of walnut and later to blueberries. With a three-month-old baby in my arms, emergency crews rushed to help. Panic attacks followed. Doctors and tests offered no clear explanation, so I decided to become more active in my own wellbeing journey.
