Only if the honey is made locally to the user, I believe.

Not yet. It’s in the post though, for sure.

As I’ve got older I find I have a bad 2 weeks or so with it and that’s more or less it. It seems to die down of its own accord, so hardly worth getting on the antihistamines.

it’s this Saharan dust… makin me eyes itch something fierce! 🙁

You’ve got it too? I had to use Ventolin for the first time in months yesterday and for today’s ride. 😥

yep, it’s here in London apparently… along with 22degrees in early April, so not complaining too much 😆

My eyes have been irritating me something rotten just lately, much earlier than usual. Damn this warm, sunny weather!

Zirtec FTW!

It’ll be birch pollen now I guess?
I reckon the local honey thing is a load of tosh personally. Dunno where you get birch tree honey from?
Prolly get more effect from eating loads of apples, which afaik have very similar protein to birch pollen (or something) which supposedly triggers allergy.

You’ll be relieved to know that the allergy will begin to die away as you reach your late forties. Probably.

Becolamethasone nose spray. Takes a few days to build up but does the trick for me. I start using it in late February and don’t get hay fever anymore. Used to suffer with it something rotten.

yep i get it quit bad!!! i had the injection 2 year ago and it works!!!

im not hit at the moment but have drugs on stand by for when i do get hit!!
