You have some sort of allergic reaction to a substance.
This is annoying but rarely dangerous. If exposed to the cause
of your allergy, make a HT roll. Failure means you become
miserable and suffer coughing or sneezing (p. B428), or itching
(same game effect), for a number of minutes equal to the mar-
gin of failure.
Examples: Hay fever causing red eyes and sneezing; food
allergies causing hives (could be quirk-level Restricted Diet,
p. B151); insect bites causing severe itching.
Treat severe allergies that can lead to injury or death as
full-fledged Susceptible disadvantages (p. B158). Exception: A
dangerous reaction to a substance so rare that an adventurer
might encounter it just once or twice ever is still just
a quirk.
