Two Sides of Sensitive.

I’ve been trimming a bush that grows up from one of my hedges today, and now I’ve got a sore throat. I often get a sore throat when I’ve been trimming things. I suppose the soft membranes are hypersensitive to foreign substances like sap and microscopic insects.

I have the same problem with crisps. There’s a popular brand in Britain called McCoy’s which I can’t stand. The taste of chemicals completely obscures any taste of potato and leaves an uncomfortable tingling sensation on the lips. I’m led to assume that the modern generation has become so used to things tasting of chemicals that it’s forgotten what the damn things are supposed to taste of.
