I'm dealing with the worst allergy reactions to grass pollen this year than ever before. Anyone else?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

My allergies were awful earlier this year with the tree pollen. I noticed last week when I was at my hunting property in PA I was walking my mountain roads which are planted in orchard grass I was sneezing my brains out. The grass was dropping pollen like crazy...

I have dealt with allergies all my life. Try allegra over the counter, only thing that works for me. Allergra D during the month of may. Secret for me was take it early AM BEFORE symptoms start on an empty stomach. Good luck.

I was just thinking to myself the other day, this has been one of the best years for my allergies, still have bad days but not like some years where it's everyday..
I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease.. BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES.

Secret for me was take it early AM BEFORE symptoms start on an empty stomach. Good luck. That one doesn't work for me anymore. LOL I've used just about everyone there is now. I too have been dealing with allergies all my life. Even used to get injections to build up a tolerance. I had to stop, as even though this particular doctor's office was only 5 minutes away, it was usually an hour or two ordeal to get the shot so it wasn't conducive to running a business when you were the only one there. I'm thinking if we can get rain here to clear the air I'll be good. If I drive 20 minutes from here to the school where my wife teaches where they have had rain I'm much better.

My allergies seem to be off the hook this year as opposed to previous years when I had no problems.
I'll have sneezing fits, like sneezing 10-20 times.

I don't know. Sometimes I take to a spell of sneezing and will sneeze a dozen times right in row, and sometimes I wake up and I'm stuffed up, but I've never been able to narrow it down as an allergy. Probably is. Wife and I recently moved from Oklahoma to Ohio though and I'm not nearly as stuffy, sneezy or itchy as I was in OK. Hell, come to think of it, I could have played as many as three of the seven dwarfs in Oklahoma. Good luck, dan

Oklahoma allegries are horrible. If I do any dealing outside, I will probably have some sort of allegries. The introduction of canola does not help.

Had an earlier bout with allergies this year, and just started another round last week. Rain would be a big help.
Just do it...

I've noticed over the last 2 years and this year especially though that I am in agony after I get off the mower or using the weedeater. Eyes watering and itching plus sneezing like crazy. It's never been an issue for me till these last couple years. This spring there was so much pollen pouring off the trees by the house I thought the place was on fire one morning...

I thought it was a cooler weather crop, like southern Canada, NoDak and the northern tier of states. Didn't know OK had it too. Dan

Dan It is just taking off as a rotational crop with crop to try to control unwanted plants (rye, ryegrass, cheat, wild oats, etc.) in wheat fields. The canola pollen pretty affects everyone thus causing a new allegry here. It works well. 2 of the past three have provided high canola yields.

My wife is really taking a hit from allergies this year. I've been blessed with not really ever being bothered by them myself, but hate seeing her in so much constant discomfort. Our son is also really reacting this year but, at age 6 about to turn 7, he doesn't seem to let it bother him or slow him down. Poor little dude has red-rimmed eyes and his nose is constantly running. Definitely his worst year.

Whew!! Good thing he's not a teenager, or we'd be having a different discussion.

I use to think I had allergies in the past. Found out all the cause was industrial/household pollutants. Quite a few things will attack your respiratory/sinus systems. Paint's are really bad for me. I have issues with mold tho.
I was at a foundry a couple weeks ago, only for three hours. The place was horrendously filthy. You could grab filth out of the air with your hand, and you really had to watch where you were standing or you would get covered in foundry sand, I mean, it was coming down everywhere, and it should not be!
Anyway, that messed me up for a weekend! Glad I used a company laptop on that job. It still smells!
I really feel sorry for the people who work there! Seriously!!!

Sure pretty when it blooms, but I can imagine the amount of pollen that must be in the air. What part of OK you from? Dan

I hate to hear that it doesn't work for you anymore. It has seemed like the magic pill for me. I have a guy that works with me that never has any allergy issues! Don't understand how it affects one person and not others.

I'm fine all year long except for ragweed. That usually kicks in the 2nd week of August until the first frost.
When I lived in So. Cal, I never was bothered by my allergies, and it took a few years after I moved to Indiana for them to start acting up again.

Whew!! Good thing he's not a teenager, or we'd be having a different discussion. Tell me about it! Fortunately, the local bath salts shop was raided a month ago and was closed by the feds. Could be he's just going through withdrawals!

One thing that sometimes works for plant pollens is to eat a tablespoon of local honey. Thanks.

Allegra never worked for me. It suddently kicked in for me by taking it for 3 days straight. Now it works quite well. I made an appointment to see the doctor for something stronger but once the allegra started working I cancelled it. I'm not giving my doctor $75.00 plus the cost of the prescription to tell me, "Yes, it looks like you have allergy issues." It's already close to $100.00 to get my blood tested for cholesterol and make sure my meds are not effecting my liver. My doc owns his own lab so it's ching ching for him there too. Insurance won't pay for anything. I think I'll move to Canada.
