Did You Know That Coffee Can Make You Itch?

Yeah. Sad to say that I revisited that discovery recently.  It happened to me long ago when I used to drink a lot of coffee during winter months when I was in the military.   I couldn’t figure out why I was itching—but assumed that it just went away after a while.  But what had actually happened was I reduced my coffee intake to a more balanced level to the other beverages I was drinking.  Cutting through the chase, there is a link below that takes you to a Google search I did that explains the correlation.

So, this year, I started drinking more coffee again for a few reasons (as an aid to help in weight loss and maintenance, a stimulant to keep awake while working on projects at night….and it is also very good! 😁)

Anyhow, I started to notice that whenever I was doing something that caused tension or agitation, I began to itch like crazy—all freaking over!  Even when I was thinking too hard I started itching. LOL.   Then I had a thought back to when it happened before and sure enough it was my coffee intake.  As soon as I went back to a moderate intake, the itching stopped. 

It turns out that coffee has histamine, which can cause or trigger hives, rashes, or eczema-like reactions.  Who freaking knew?!!!  The following link is to a Google search where

My Travel and Gaming Journey –2nd Post; Finding Out I Can Use My Phone As a Game Controller

 

 

I am currently on a trip I decided to make to Massachusetts visiting one of my daughters before 2025 was done.   Yes, the cold, *dirty train and all.  And so far only a couple of hiccups, but it’s quite nice and I am glad I decided to take the trip.

But, this post is not about the trip per se; it’s about discovering that I can use my other phone as a game controller.  In all of my pared-down packing, I forgot to pack my game controller.  (I’m trying to make the processes of learning how to game and learning to code part of my routine—no matter where I am or decide to travel).

So, I had this brilliant thought.  Since I play Infinity Ops and other games on my phone, I wonder if I could use my phone as a controller for my computer… and the Googlers said—Yes.  I can.  🥳 So, I’m giving it a try.  

You pretty much load a dedicated app or program to on your phone to connect to your pc or console…and away you go!

Others have done it—so I know it works.  Here’s a link to the answers
