![Panel 1 of a digitally drawn, four-panel comic titled ‘Last man standing’. The text at the top reads “CHOOSE YOUR ALLERGY”. The box in the top left is labelled ‘DUST’ and, in it, is a character with brown skin and long, black, wavy hair. A cartoon cursor is clicking over this box to signal this is the allergy you have chosen. There are three other boxes with characters that have not been chosen, labelled ‘pets’, ‘nuts’ and ‘stone fruits’.](https://images.prismic.io/wellcomecollection/8065b4be-dcfa-4e99-ad1c-74353b6d86e3_88_WC+3-1.jpg?w=1338&auto=compress%2Cformat&rect=&q=100)
![Panel 2 of a digitally drawn, four-panel comic titled ‘Last man standing’. The text at the top says ‘CHARACTER STATS’. The sliders show your character suffers badly with itchy skin, watery red eyes and wheezing, and carries a feather duster and microfibre cloth.](https://images.prismic.io/wellcomecollection/3b2e7549-5c1d-45d1-9c8e-1d26621ba6c0_88_WC+3-2.jpg?w=1338&auto=compress%2Cformat&rect=&q=100)
![Panel 3 of a digitally drawn, four-panel comic titled ‘Last man standing’. It’s round 1 in a fight between your character and dust mites. With maximum energy, a duster in hand and a microfibre cloth in your pocket, you begin cleaning.](https://images.prismic.io/wellcomecollection/a4cb28bd-a18a-4c6f-8310-a347e72a8531_88_WC+3-3.jpg?w=1338&auto=compress%2Cformat&rect=&q=100)
![Panel 4 of a digitally drawn, four-panel comic titled ‘Last man standing’. It’s round 50,000 and the dust mites are clearly winning. With barely any energy left, your character looks defeated in their battle against the dust.](https://images.prismic.io/wellcomecollection/fbebfbb1-41ba-49d7-a7d7-ea26bfa9f258_88_WC+3-4.jpg?w=1338&auto=compress%2Cformat&rect=&q=100)
