Symptoms of an Allergic Reaction to Mathematics

Itchy/Irritated skin

During exposure to mathematics, the human body reacts in many different ways to express it's confusion, frustration, and annoyance to why the person would ever be introduced to such a vile study.

One of these ways is to cause the persons attention to detract from the subject of mathematics, and be consumed in scratching those itchy nooks and crannies on their body. This is a sign that you should immediately cease what you are doing and leave the present location with haste.

If you do not heed your body's warning, it will produce other such symptoms that I will report in later blogs.

Many times, the constant scratching will produce reddened skin around the area that is itchy. This production by the body, is a second phase to the initial warning of danger, and it is meant to cause distraction and worry about what is wrong with said body part.

Although this initial warning usually allows for dramatic escape from the persons situation, sometimes one cannot so easily leave without being detected by mathematicians, or even parental guardians of the cubes of infinite terrors. In such a case the person will usually be further exposed to the harmful elements of the mathematical plague.

If you are lacking in confidence, wait until more serious warnings are given by your body...as it can endure much hardship without succumbing to the darkness. But, if you have a high stance in your confidence (and unethical background) tell the mathematician or parental guardian of the cubes of infinite terrors that you feel ill, or have a headache. The guardians will usually be brought back into parent mode, and will ask if they can do anything to help and may even whisk you off to bed where your body can recover from such lengthy exposure.

Mathematicians on the other hand, will not be so easily fooled.

If you have a math teacher or even a local Mathematician, you will have to be crafty and illogical to escape their grasp. If you can wait it out, do so. But most cannot or will not be able to endure the agony that is brought on by long exposure to the plague of eternal darkness. The dread may eventually take you, and the defense you sought to hold up will be broken. If you see a chance for escape (bathroom break, coffee break, dropped pencil, a partner interrupting, "random" 911 call or fire alarm, etc.) take it.

The initial warning rarely turns the mathematicians back into their human form, that should have kicked in and sympathized with you, and your brave soul will have to take it like a warrior of sorts if you are to live through your ordeal.

Peace my brother,
for the Dark Arts are held at bay,
with no chance of entering our hearts.

For we stand strong,
in the sight of utter evil.
For we take every breath,
in turn,
as if it were our last.

No mathematician,
no parental guardian of the cubes of infinite terror,
shall take from us our god given free will and soul.

No matter what the cost,
we must,
stand strong.
