Heyfever

[C.J]

I've heard eating local honey can help with Hayfever. Has anyone tried this?

 

Something to do with the local pollen / bees etc.

I guess it's letting your body adapt to it, kind of like a vaccine. Can't see how it would help right in the middle of it though, probably somethign to do during winter?

I used to get it bad in my teens/twenties (sneezing and most anooying the itchy eyes) and in the end went to the quack.

 

I was sent to a clinic where there put various pollen/dust samples on your arm to see what reacts.

 

Was then prescribed a course of injections over the winter period (about once a month) with the concoction to deal with the ones I had reacted to and touch wood I have never really suffered since - just mild symptons. I remember the first summer after those injections it was a revelation not to have to carry around pockets full of tissues

Might be worth a try as from my experience it has certainly given me a better quality of life given this year is quite bad and I have no adverse effects to speak of

That was interesting, dont fancy the trip to the land of sh*tty feet, but the study and the future medical aplications sound promising - good hit

The fact people threatened him with machete's for playing in their poo was entertaining
