A light hearted play on words slightly dramatizing a few small scabs
possibly, not 100%, a side effect of a mild allergy the cause of which we
have not yet fully determined. In fact there is a small chance there may be a
parasite involved, again this has not yet been fully diagnosed. I am sorry
that the sentence does not take the human allergy condition into account
however I appreciate how uncomfortable and dangerous human allergies can be.
I'd like to reassure readers that Monty is not in serious discomfort and will
be taken care of in the appropriately. The concern is more of a human one.
Best Regards Damian
