If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, then you know what I'm talking about.. "alergies". For the first three days, I was using wads of tissues to plug up my nose, when I had the chance, of course. Now when I even just barely touch my nose, usually when blowing it, it sends sharp needle pain straight to my brain. Then I sneeze, but only weeezing for a minute straight and eyes bulging out. I fucking hate it, how about you? Do you have allergies, and if so, what helps?

I try and keep a jar of pickled jalapeno peppers around. I eat one every so often, eyes water up, and then release all the built up mucus. uhhh!

Wet paper towels held up to the nose help also.

eating a spoon of local honey, or better yet, local bee pollen, does wonders for seasonal allergies, or so im told.
i used to get absolutely terrible allergies, puffy red itchy eyes, constant congestion, the whole gamut of possible symptoms and never found any medications to help, be it benadryl (diphenhydramine), allegra, or any of those other otc or prescription pills.
fortunately i moved to the other side of the country and am now 100% allergy free all year round! woo!

Yeah, the only pills I've found that sort of work are extra-strength "cold" ones. Allergies already make me drowsy, so I can't feel the side-effects anyhow. I wish I knew where to get this local honey everyone talks about. I'm not about to go poking about and I haven't seen a roadside stand for ages. Gone the way of the Kmart.

There's a giant produce store nearby, I'll have to look for honey next time, though much of its stuff is flown in. Out of town there are some Whole Foods supermarkets; I'll look in the phone book and see what else I can find. Thanks.

i would doubt a whole foods would have local honey. you best bet would be to check out your local farmers markets.
