It's Spring. Yay.

Time for the hayfever season...

Time to start trying this year's ludicrous hayfever remedy. Anyone got any suggestions ? (So far I've tried antihistamines of various kinds, Neal's yard anti-allergy vitamin tablets, lots of honey...)

People sometimes criticise me for not liking summer. I tell them: I have no quarrel with summer.

Yet as soon as I go outside in it, it makes me sneeze. It makes my eyes run, and itch horribly. On top of that it burns me, even if I wear high-factor sun cream. And then, to add insult to injury, it causes me to get bitten by innumerable nasties.

It started it!

Sympathy, but no suggestions

The prescription version of an over-the-counter drug has worked for me the last few summers (I can't remember the name, but as my symptoms aren't due to start till May I presume we're allergic to different pollens).

What frustrates me is the lifestyle advice, which is effectively 'Stay indoors. Keep windows closed, especially on hot days. If you must travel outside, wear a biohazard suit and take a shower at your destination.' It's not easy to follow.
