TP. 165  HISTAMINES

Larry Wellington flowed out of bed on a river of mucus and started a regiment of antihistamines to quell the broken dam that was out of control. It seems the entire human body is saturated with histamines whose purpose is to chemically communicate between your immune system and some of the other 11 body systems. The 4 known histamines also control allergic reactions, sleep/wake cycles, brain functions, neurotransmitters, gastric acid secretions, blood pressure, and heart rate. Histamines are not proteins but rather a signaling chemical known as a biogenic amine that removes a carboxly group from the amino acid: histidine. Got that?  Yeh, me neither. Anyway, whenever you go to the doctor for some non critical ailment, the magic potion is an antihistamine. It seems Larry was soon overmedicated because the doctor didn’t know what over-the-counter medications he was taking, and soon gave him an overdose of antihistamines. How many doctors prescribe histamines? Soon Larry’s immune system was crying for mucus production to supply the body with antimicrobial peptides, lysozimes, and defensines, but the antihistamines blocked the signals, so Larry did not have the immune system responses, nor the ability to secrete these nasties out of his body on a liquid flush fluid. Larry was found dead in his apartment by a maintenance man who was on a call by fellow renters of that apartment complex who complained of a noxious odor. A sand like material fell out of his nose and mouth when the coroner moved him. He dried to death (dehydration).
