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.
Yo! Eat local honey! The same stuff that is making you miserable also makes happiness. And, by eating the honey, you ingest the pollen and build immunity to it. If it doesn’t work, you’ve still eaten honey and that doesn’t suck.
There’s no scientific evidence that eating honey helps build any resistance to pollen allergy. Both because ingesting it doesn’t expose you in any meaningful way to pollen grains as the stomach acid breaks them down almost immediately and also because most of the pollen that causes allergies is grass and tree pollen that’s spread on the wind, rather than flower pollen which is spread by bees.
But, yes, local honey does have other benefits beyond allergy symptoms and is also delicious.
