Then as I was getting used to that, I came down with the most godawful itching and skin rash. Apparently, a thai dish I ate had a shrimp base, and sometime recently my immune system has now developed a most violent aversion to shellfish. I thought I was going to die &#8211; this was no way for a veggie to go out! Repeated applications of TLC by Lisa, and lots of anti-histamine, let me muddle through it. My arms are still kind of raw and scabby though.<\/p>\n<p>So when I eventually struggled back into work it was to find myself on the receiving end of some emergency layoffs in order to make a payroll.
