Zea a little protein for me

Zea mays.
It's corn protein that I'm googling,studying,pondering.
Zea mays (maize)
"known to cause allergies in humans" (fantastic)
Zea m14 9kDa Lipid Transfer Protein. LTP

Visions of my Bio 201 class. These are protein chains that attempt to scurry phosphates and fats across cell membranes.

It's a eukaryote (simple cell) causing harm in me.

My body makes antibodies in response to this protein.

And then what?

gives off histamines?

Is it related to my leg swelling?

I'm taking a class for work and yesterday's snack was....

A GIANT BOWL OF POPCORN.

Kill me now.....
