Spring is in the air....

Normally everyone starts shagin.

My ears and eyes start itching, too.

Slightly sticking eyes in the morning otherwise no probs at all so far.

Kind of sunny and ~20C, not bad, though the last couple of weeks sucked. Cold, rainy, even snowed.
Just my luck, haven't caught a cold in more than a year and got one just when I had to take my nose polyps out.
Managed to do it this Wednesday... cough... spits some blood...
Ah, spring !

[VJ]

Why should I ?
(sort of a Belgian/Dutch joke, where one guy says "Springs is in the air" (spring in Dutch means "jump", "is" can be pronounced to resemble the Dutch word for "once", and the construction of the sentence makes sense in Dutch then), to which the other one replies "why should I ?")

But yes, pollen are also a problem here... Currently, I seem to be in luck (the current type of pollen I don't have a problem with), but I fear for the coming weeks... (closed windows, 10+ handkerchiefs, ... )

So, why should I, VJ?
It's good to know.

Oh yes... pollen! - One of our civilization problems...

The only thing I hate about spring, the alergies, but I do thank God for the sweet little blue pill that makes most of those little troubles go away, clairanex i think it is (strange that I don't remember)...

And another thing, School is so dirty!! home I'm fine relativly but walk in school and there's so much dust and crap in the air that you about die, woes me, you'd think they'd spring (nice little pun there ) for a filter or something...but no...

Claritin.

I use Allegra D. It has pseudophed mixed in with it, which helps dry me out.

I am the only person I know that doesn't have allergies. Usually if something is bothering my nostrils, I sneeze and the problem goes away.

why is it that so many people have allergies now?.. it can't have been the case in the old days.. is it something we ate? ( luckily I don't have any allergies that I know about )

Now you know two! I have no allergies that I'm aware of, and neither do my two brothers or my mother. My dad has a few though (cats, pollen, the usual ones). I'm all stuffy right now, but it's just a standard cold. Usually if I sneeze, it's because I've got something in my nose that needs expelling (dust, etc.).

It's spring, which means it's damp and cool. This gives you a high mold count, which is one of the things people are allergic to the most.

You're lucky.

I have over 80 confirmed allergies....mostly to molds, house dust and pollens of various types but also a few foods; raw carrorts for one and it's violent. Once it caused my throat to swell most of the way shut when I didn't notice some finely grated carrots in my cole slaw at a restaurant.

Thank God a rescue squad was having lunch there at the same time. They intubated and put me on oxygen then injected me with adrenaline & Benedryl (an antihistamine) to open things back up

Spring and fall were hell-on-Earth for me until this new generation of antihistamines came out.

Also some people like looking for allergies and illness like some of my family.
I reckon some of the problem is doctors and the other pollution.

but I do thank God for the sweet little blue pill that makes most of those little troubles go away,

(not that I would know, of course!! )
