Yes, but...

I know the difference between half life and metabolism, but isn't the half life of sulfas relatively short? And wouldn't a slow metabolism cause the side effects to last longer? (Hence still having hives for five days and the nasty side effects of Tequin for a month?)

I've had eye exams a bunch of times, but I have never been dilated for more than eight hours.

Regarding antibiotic allergies, I got a rash from erythromycin first time I took it. It took years for me to develop one to penicillin, and then it was anaphylactic shock. The allergist said it's likely that I'm not still allergic too it, as so long a time has elapsed. (I have noticed many of my allergies last for less than a decade.) As for the sulfa (bactrim) allergy, I took it with no problems in March; I took it again in July and got hives.

Maybe we should chalk it up to bad genes and sporadic troubles.

Your grammar was terrific, by the way. And though I don't recall your name on the PSB board, thanks for lurking around the poems.
