I wasn't sure if I was allergic to hay or not, I'm from…
“I wasn't sure if I was allergic to hay or not, I'm from Kentucky and you would think I would know but I didn't. I took an antihistamine and I didn't know that they make your blood thin and your heat race. So I was spending all day screaming and I almost fainted once. Right before I fainted I came to and opened my eyes and I didn't know where I was or who anyone was so I took a breather and started up again. It was almost happening each time and all I knew was that the scream was the intention to get my sister to leave the barn. So when I see it now I know how I felt and what I was trying to do. It was so scary for me how I was feeling that it scares me now.”
