Spring Allergies

There are some allergies I can ignore. A little rash, some itchy eyes and palm hives are annoying, but it doesn’t kill you. On the other hand, some allergies can make you stop and pay attention.

I like to breathe. I am probably not alone in that, and any allergy that affects my breathing, either by filling my lungs with mucus or closing my throat, is something I pay attention to. Medication is a wonderful thing to help counter the allergic reactions, being able to avoid what I can is my best tool. That is the reason that I am a nut about only using certain soaps, sticking to particular cleaners, and even avoiding some fertilizers.

To everyone coping with allergies as we move into the biggest season for them, be careful. Do what you can to avoid the cause, medicate when you need to and when you need to counter the brain numbing effect of the meds, use caffeine.

Happy Spring!
