Can also put some vaseline on your nose. Supposed to catch the pollen before it can affect you.

"This is the first tear I've ever had it. I feel like shit. What's some good stuff to use? I saw someone mention local honey. But I'm not keen on honey." It's one of the few things that work. I detest BBQ sauce but if table spoon of it once a day eradicated my migraines, I'd do it like a shot. Get some local honey and get it down ya. | |||

"I stopped taking antihistamines a while ago as it's linked to dementia. The drug reduces the vessels in the nose from swelling and guess what does the same to the little ones in your brain. Doesn't take a genius to see that. I've worked up a tolerance to pollen. Rubbing stinging nettles on your skin each day does the same. DIY BDSM right there folks! "if what you are doing is working for you keep going. I must say it is only one type of antihistamine that is linked to dementia that is anticholinergic when taken long term. They are used for lots of things such as helping bladder control and parkinsons disease. Most antihistamines are fine. | |||

"I’m sure there are plenty on here who would advocate a nationwide lockdown now without delay. Can’t pass it on. Irrelevant. Lockdown now till every last reported case has gone. Can’t be too careful whatever the cost. People are dying !!!!!!!!" Everyone needs to have the vaccine despite what they think of it. The vaccine doesn’t stop you from getting it but it does stop you from getting as bad as you might get it if you didn’t have the vaccine at all. My sister won’t have the vaccine, she caught Covid (no underlying illnesses), she was in hospital for a week on oxygen. I’ve had the vaccines, caught Covid last week, I also have asthma, still not ended up in hospital. Go figure. | |||

"Yup and rub nettles on your skin every day and build up itchy scratchy resistance...nettle tea with local honey is high in nutrition I was tempted to drink it myself. I think hedge witchery is a activity we should all learn " Took a girl to Southport many years ago. When we came out, she was bursting to pee. In her Bube Tube top and Mini Skirt, she whipped down her pants and started to pee, lost her balance and fell backwards into the biggest clump of nettles I've ever seen. Stung from head to foot and in her panic rolled onto her front, collecting more stings while trying to get up. Within minutes, severe Anaphylactic shock set in, luckily there was a paramedic parked on call on the corner on stand by. Ambulance turned up and was in hospital for 2 days. It nearly killed her. | |||

"Society has seen many rises in cases of hay fever and asthma. One of possible leading reasons why this may be happening in the increase in chemicals that act as irritants in the house. Aerosol cleaning agents, synthetic chemical room odourisers etc. Many contain toxic chemicals whilst not causing hay fever or asthma as irritants and can trigger attacks. We all know about traffic and industrial pollution yet few consider that many are now making homes as polluted with often more harmful chemicals." Not so much the chemicals, but over cleaning with them. Heard the term "a bit if shit never hurt anyone". Asthma and Allergies in farm folk and others exposed to outdoor contaminants, tend to suffer much less or not at all. Although, there are obvious other risks with consequences, it does seem humans need a little shite in in their lives. Asthma is mostly an overreaction of the immune system to something that is perfectly safe as its not previously been exposes and assumes a threat. Those that have lived sheltered lives, will tend to suffer the most. The immune system as we grow up, needs triggering by background contact, by keeping over-clean and locked indoors, this exposure dies not occur. POLLEN being one, hence 'killer' in high doses hot weather brings. So, instead of conspiracy and tin hats, there is a logical explanation to those that could be severely affected to be cautious as it could kill them, literally. It's possible to become immune to peanuts by having a micro amount of exposure to the active compounds under medical supervision. "The immune system plays a central role in the onset and severity of asthma. At its heart, asthma is a disease characterized by an overactive immune response in which the body reacts aggressively to environmental triggers by releasing cells that incite inflammation in the airways." - we need to stop being too clean!! - get pets - get mucky And show our immune systems, the world can be a friendly place and to stop panicking.. | |||

"There won't be another lockdown, there would be civil unrest. There will be a surge in cases in the autumn which will be met by an increased vaccine campaign, probably combined with flu. Hayfever will increase this year because we are out and about for the first time without restriction and without masks. The virus is still out there, but it is being met and challenged now" Humans are funny and the fact they would fear something that has been created by companies that have earnt billions in prfit yet don`t have the time to look up the facts  but tbh if you fear what you are told then keep it up fellow humans x

"I suffered terribly all my life (itchy eyes, runny nose, constant feeling of about to sneeze, headaches, exhaustion by the end of the day) and the only thing that would work was the steroid injection, but it would only last for maybe 3 or 4 weeks and then doctors have stopped giving it due to apparent links to osteoporosis in later life. Then 2 years ago, a new doctor i went to prescribed me a combination of telfast tablets and avamys nasal spray. Its been like a miracle cure for me. I start a 4 month dose of it at the beginning of april right through to end of July and it works an absolute treat. Never thought I'd ever be able to enjoy a summer before" I've been having a terrible time of it. After more than two years with an allergy and immunology consultant he's finally given up on me and discharged me. He says I just need to accept that Fibromyalgia makes me more sensitive to allergens and irritants. At that minute I'm using: 30mg Rupatadine twice daily, 10mg Montelukast on an evening (I'm not asthmatic), Avamys nasal spray, 2% sodium cromoglicate eye drops and both a reliever and preventer inhaler (even though I'm not asthmatic). Every three months I have to cycle between 60mg of Rupatadine, 100mg Cetirizine or 720mg Fexofenadine per day as I build up a tolerance to them all. I've used Cetirizine for over twenty years and then a few years ago it just stopped working. Fexofenadine worked well for a few years and then that stopped. I try to cycle between them now, to let the tolerance die down a bit, but I just tried Cetirizine again after a break and it had no impact. Loratadine never worked for me. Thankfully this year hasn't been as bad as last, but I'm dreading October when the allotments can start burning rubbish again. Inhaled smoke of any kind, paint fumes and polish make me severely ill and, being irritants rather than allergens, the medication is even less effective. I've tried short courses of steroids but they don't work, especially for a long term condition. They can indeed cause loss of bone density. Blood tests show I'm highly allergic to mugwort pollen (sounds like something from Harry Potter) and dandelion pollen. When I found out what mugwort was I tried looking for it and managed to find quite a few large infestations. People can joke, but allergies coupled with Fibromyalgia can be extremely debilitating. | |||

I've tried short courses of steroids but they don't work, especially for a long term condition. They can indeed cause loss of bone density. Blood tests show I'm highly allergic to mugwort pollen (sounds like something from Harry Potter) and dandelion pollen. When I found out what mugwort was I tried looking for it and managed to find quite a few large infestations. People can joke, but allergies coupled with Fibromyalgia can be extremely debilitating. I dont doubt it for a second. Horrendous " There's no desensitisation therapy licensed in the UK for dandelion or mugwort pollen. Different sources say different things, but the Royal Botanical Society told me that mugwort pollen was the main cause of hay fever in Europe and North America and not grass, as the name suggests. I wonder if I can get it done privately somewhere. The local council has been great (it's literally the only thing they've ever been helpful with) and they've nuked all of the infestations of mugwort that I pointed them to on their land. They even contacted Aldi and had them clear out an infestation on a pilot of land that a Aldi had bought over ten years ago but never used. I felt ill within about thirty minutes of visiting Teesbay Retail Park every time I went over there. There's large 6ft fences between the shops and some dunes or slag heaps. I put two and two together and had a nosey and found loads of almost 6ft tall mugwort bushes growing behind the fences. The owners of the retail park were great and destroyed them all. | |||

"I suffered terribly all my life (itchy eyes, runny nose, constant feeling of about to sneeze, headaches, exhaustion by the end of the day) and the only thing that would work was the steroid injection, but it would only last for maybe 3 or 4 weeks and then doctors have stopped giving it due to apparent links to osteoporosis in later life. Then 2 years ago, a new doctor i went to prescribed me a combination of telfast tablets and avamys nasal spray. Its been like a miracle cure for me. I start a 4 month dose of it at the beginning of april right through to end of July and it works an absolute treat. Never thought I'd ever be able to enjoy a summer before I've been having a terrible time of it. After more than two years with an allergy and immunology consultant he's finally given up on me and discharged me. He says I just need to accept that Fibromyalgia makes me more sensitive to allergens and irritants. At that minute I'm using: 30mg Rupatadine twice daily, 10mg Montelukast on an evening (I'm not asthmatic), Avamys nasal spray, 2% sodium cromoglicate eye drops and both a reliever and preventer inhaler (even though I'm not asthmatic). Every three months I have to cycle between 60mg of Rupatadine, 100mg Cetirizine or 720mg Fexofenadine per day as I build up a tolerance to them all. I've used Cetirizine for over twenty years and then a few years ago it just stopped working. Fexofenadine worked well for a few years and then that stopped. I try to cycle between them now, to let the tolerance die down a bit, but I just tried Cetirizine again after a break and it had no impact. Loratadine never worked for me.

Didnt expect any council or a large private company to move that quick. Clearly that stuff is bad news all round | |||
