anaphylactic shock can be fatal.

I'm fortunate to be a delayed reactor. (and also unfortunate that my primary reaction is weight gain. So I do treat my allergies seriously.)

a young person shows so much potential, intelligence and willingness to do a job well and progress up the ladder but is cut down by unforeseen circumstances beyond their control.

Then again, this is dog killer Noem, so no great loss if she exits stage left never to return.

Botoxed lips
A face that resembles crude plastic surgery
Hair that resembles fake extensions
Verbal slips that resemble constant lying and unfeeling cruelty
A tendency to kill animals upon a whim

He said he’d be surprised if the diagnosis was anything other than acute Republicanitis, and that hospitalization was the correct treatment.
