As an #allergy sufferer in #nashville, I started tracking the local daily #pollen index in 2022. Easy to see a trend here, which matches what my nose/eyes feel as well. 2025 seems to be right on track. #pollen

I did not know this about nasal sprays so sharing here in case any of you also did not know it...

"If you taste it, you waste it!"

When using a nasal spray, make sure you’re looking down “nose to toes,” and point the spray out and towards your ear. Do not snort the medication. Just breathe normally.

Looked up caffeine allergy & no more Matcha tea for me.
I should have looked it up before today's dose but I was only just vertical & needed to wake me up.

Fingers the sore itchy patches calm down & go away along with the headaches.

My emergency anti-itch cream actually worked today but my arms were very toasty during the oh so exciting () annual meeting.

Was out hiking yesterday and today; am now feeling the "signature" tingling that is an early indicator of Poison-oak exposure...

Oh the joy of spring and hiking in Southern California: all clothes incl. jackets & shoes are going into the washer... emergency shower... wish me luck... (I've had the rash last year; it lasted for ~6 weeks)

Here's a photo of the villain in the story! Pretty, isn't it?

Are any of you allergic to the sun/UV rays? Have you found a solution other than covering up completely or putting on sun cream? One minute on the balcony was enough to make the skin on my neck (the only exposed part) redden and itch like crazy...

For those of you who think you might be seeing the start of #Spring #allergy season, here is a close-up of one of the maples in my front yard.

Yes, they've popped. Oh boy.

It's the start of #allergy season here... Or I have that nasty cold going through the #neighborhood.

A shot of Apple Cider #Vinegar was the chaser.

Uh, guys, I'm totally ok with the progress in the #food industry and alternative #protein source (crickets are tasty). But I also has been keeping insect-eating animals on a scale (for scientific/rehabilitation reasons) and has been breeding #Tenebrio molitor for several years at home (2-3 40L trays). Half of my colleagues doing the same and I personally have got an allergy for T. molitor. Probably there is something special about #mealworms being #allergenic, as I haven't had any problems breeding locusts and cockroaches before. Human immune system is generally tailored to raise alarm on chitin detection (as it's not naturally produced by our body and finding it there means fungal infection or endo/ecto parasites infestation) and powderized #chitin in the air is a perfect way to get an #allergy. Ofc. it's not that severe with the food, as we can eat mushrooms and prawns (and crickets if you like it) without any problems.
But thanks #Eurocommision now I'm joining the row of the people carefully reading the package in search of the "Produced on the grounds where also XXX is used". And hope workers will also get their appropriate PPE and insurance.

Knowledge of allergy medicine amongst physicians is severely limited it seems. Many patients keep complaining with very real symptoms complain they receive patronizing treatment from physicians who either don't understand their illness or aren't curious enough to take them seriously. #medicine #allergy
