Angry Pollen issues!! Hack..hack!

For you guys that live in the south, how do you deal with pollen causing a hole lot of sneezing right now? For you folks up north sorry to report that we had 80 degrees yesterday. I don't want to take something that will make me drowsy. I don't want to wait it out either!

Do you have to take that everyday to build up a immunity to the pollen? Or can you take it as needed?

I get my allergies on August 15. Like clockwork. So around the first of August I go to the doctor and tell them to give me a kenalog shot. I'm covered till the hard freeze happens.

Seems the older I get, the worse my allergies get. I take generic Zyrtec year round.

When I move to a new location I usually try to find someone selling locally produced honey. Eating the honey builds up your allergy immunity. After a jar of honey, eaten raw or put in hot beverage, I don't have any allergy issues. Or you can go buy allergy meds from your local pharmacy.
