Summary
Cardinal 24156 caught Omicron in early January 2022 from their father. About six weeks later they described sudden, very bad allergies with constant coughing, wheezing and throat clearing, and a new sensitivity to carpet at home. An antihistamine controlled it well, though taking it late stopped them sleeping, and exercise hurt their lungs until they were on the allergy medication. Symptoms were minimal at work or class.
