Allergic Reactions to Romance

Love Hurts, Literally

After months of flirty banter and texting about mutual trauma, Jenna and Sam finally kissed–then simultaneously swelled up like pufferfish in a Nicholas Sparks blooper reel.

The Medical Mystery

Doctors were baffled. “No known allergens present, unless you count fear of intimacy,” said Dr. Cuddles, ER intern and aspiring poet.

Suspected Culprits

Possibilities include cross-contaminated chapstick, lingering pheromonal sabotage, and a shared subconscious dread of abandonment.

Romantic Fallout

The couple now only touches via sanitized elbow bumps and sends heart emojis from separate devices.

Conclusion

They remain cautiously in love. Their joint couples’ therapist refers to them as “emotionally gluten-free.”

By Katie Rich

Katie Rich was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, where irony drips as thick as the humidity and every parade doubles as political commentary. She later made her way north to Northwestern University, earning a degree in Theater while moonlighting as a stand-up comic in bars where the gumbo was spicier than the hecklers. Rich built her reputation as a fearless comedy writer, contributing to television’s sharpest satire before landing her byline at Bohiney.com. As both a satirical journalist and stand-up performer, she skewers politics, pop culture, and the strange rituals of everyday life with equal precision, often turning the chaos of Louisiana’s colorful traditions into comedy gold. Known for her blend of absurdity, empathy, and sharp timing, she delivers journalism that feels like an exposé disguised as a punchline. With bayou grit and academic polish, Katie Rich’s EEAT bio proves she’s both trusted and hilariously untrustworthy.
