Hello everyone,
It's your favorite Steemian @rakiya from Nigeria and I'm delighted to join in this contest organized by @helengutier2 in this noble community today. It's a wonderful contest and I love to share my participation in it.

🤧 Are you allergic to any substance? Tell us which one?

Yes, I'm allergic to a substance and the substance is taking of sweet things like medicines that are very sweet at all times. I love taking sweet things and that is my issue. I became allergic to sweet things because anytime I take it I feel happy.

So taking all these sweet things made me allergic as I don't stay a day without it or I don't see it and pass by. Whenever I have money I purchase a lot of these things and keep it over and over.

🤧 How did you realize that you were allergic to that substance? What reactions or symptoms did you have?

I realize that I'm allergic to sweet things when I notice that I don't see it and pass by or I don't take my eyes off it anytime I see it. This has made to know that I was allergic to it.

For the main time, I don't have any symptoms but often I always don't like staying without it. I know to some extent taking too many sweet things is not healthy but in most cases, I can't do without them and that is why I always love taking them.

🤧 How do you control an allergic attack?

It's not easy controlling these allergies but often I try as much as I can to avoid it knowing fully that it's not too good for my system. I have always tried my best to ignore it.

Also, I have decided to stop buying a lot of sweets and keep them at my disposal because that is the main reason why I get to take them at all times. So I have decided to always try to avoid buying them because it helps me not to consume them.

🤧 What do you commonly do to avoid coming into contact with the substance that causes your allergy?

I avoid the shops that sells them. If I don't get to see it I quench the hunger and taste for it. So I always try as much as I can to avoid going to the shops where they are sold and in so doing I'm safe.

Also, avoiding places where people also take it is an added advantage towards controlling my allergic to the substance. As you know anytime you have these things around you will want to take it but in their absence you will be free.

I want to invite @suboohi, @waterjoe, and @m-fdo to join the contest also.
