It’s hitting hard for me at the moment and it’s making me miserable. What do you do to combat the torture of allergies?
Small rant
Pollen allergies are why I really dislike Spring and Summer. I’d rather deal with a Winter cold than Spring/Summer allergies.
Antihistamines help for a short time. Local honey may help, (traces of pollen in the honey is thought to get recognized by the immune system and prevents it from treating it as an invader.
Long term, reducing your exposure to the allergen will gradually see your allergy lessen. I had an allergy to grass pollen that went away entirely in time. I developed it as a dumbass kid when I collected a handful of pollen then rubbed my eye. It was bad, and lasted for over ten years.
Unfortunately any honey, local or otherwise, has as much effect on your allergies as a placebo. The pollen that causes allergies and the pollen that bees collect are typically entirely different, and even if it is the same it gets destroyed in your gut before it can do anything.
