A humorous memoir about living in a body whose immune system has opinions and refuses to keep them to itself.
From a bee sting outside a Helsinki cafeteria that turns an ordinary afternoon into a high-speed medical event, to the quiet logistics of living with anaphylaxis like it’s a second job you never applied for, this book follows a life lived in constant negotiation with a body that escalates quickly. Emergency medications live in every bag. Mental maps of every exit route are second nature. And there’s an ever-growing list of ordinary things—food, perfume, air—that might, on the wrong day, become a reason to move fast and stay calm.
Business trips become field operations. Meetings turn into scent-based survival challenges. Somewhere between hospital visits and conference-room cologne negotiations, you start to notice the absurdity of it all—the way danger and routine can sit in the same chair and share the same agenda.
Funny, sharp, and unexpectedly tender, this is a woman's memoir about fear that refuses to be solemn, survival that refuses to be dramatic, and the strange, stubborn art of laughing while keeping your safety kit close enough to reach without thinking.
