get some exams to determine the nature of your allergy.
Meanwhile stay away from animals.
You: Well, I guess I have to find a new job, then. Thanks doc.
 The report.

Yesterday at the emergency room, I begged somebody to help me. At

that time, a doctor ordered me to calm down and asked me about my
problem, I hardly answered that I could not breathe. The doctor told
me to lie down on the stretcher and ordered a nurse to give me
oxygen, then he asked me if I had any other ailments besides not
being able to breathe. I quickly responded that I couldn't stop
scratching the rash on my back. So, the doctor ordered a shot of
epinephrine, the nurse quickly passed it on. I remember he told me to
calm down (again) and said he would give me an epinephrine shot.

A few minutes later I could breathe again. At that moment, I

apologized for being so scared. The doctor calmly explained that this
was normal and that I went into anaphylactic shock. I confusedly
replied that I had never been allergic to anything and asked why it was
happening to me now. He told me that anyone can develop allergies
out of nothing and asked me if I had contact with animals, shellfish,
nuts or similar. At first I couldn't find any reason, but then I
remembered that yesterday I started working as a groomer.

Finally, the doctor told me that could have been the reason. However,
he indicated that I have to have clinical tests to find out the nature of
my allergy and ordered me to stay away from animals. I answered that
I had to find a new job, thanked him for the attention and went home.
