A $15 Slipper Pair is My Amulet

That’s a $15 slipper from a shop,

and it will save me thousands in health.

How?

Let me share the connection.

I have sweaty feet,

hyperhidrosis, it is called.

And our house is carpeted,

fixed to the floor,

with invisible chemicals.

If I step on it with wet feet,

the moisture reacts with the chemicals,

my skin gets agitated,

I feel itchiness.

Then my blood will be loaded,

with biochemical activity,

to deal with those chemicals.

My body will turn into a war arena.

I have lived through such a phase

when I had a cockroach allergy,

which drained all my peace and energy.

So, I wear cotton socks and slippers.

which serve as a barrier from the carpet.

I don’t feel the itch,

no unnecessary inflammation in my body.

So that $15 slipper is my amulet.
