I have a friend that suffers from different pollens. I was at his house a while ago and I honestly thought his wife must have punched him in the face. His eyes were all swollen and he looked like he'd been crying. When he explained about allergies, I told him to see a doctor. And he explained that some of the things the doctor prescribed.. put him to sleep. Like for ever. And others made him sick. So he uses some over the counter stuff he said and it works "pretty good." But he was not pretty and if that was good, I would hate to see bad.

He's like me, waiting for winter. Hope your feeling better.

Striper I totally understand how you feel. Here in Arizona just when I have time to go out shooting (spring time) my allergies kick in and my eyes start watering like crazy. I take alevert like it was candy.

Dime a Tap is what I use till it gets real bad then I break down and go to the doctor for an injection which pretty well fixes me up till Oct when the last of the golden rod is gone.
I also eat comb honey with the pollen in it which has prolonged the time frame before I have to resort to some pills or the injection.
