friggin allergies. I just about got ill from looking at
Pete's pollen shots. Pine pollen season is full
bore...yellow clouds, layers of it cars, ponds. I'm not
sure whether riding and inhaling this stuff deeper into my
lungs makes any difference, I feel like such total [censored]. I
did go for a road ride yesterday and my body felt good
from the exercise but I was still hacking and choking for
the rest of the day. I certainly didn't feel any worse for
the ride...

I'm really aware of it becasue I was totally allergy
symptom free for the duration of the Mexico trip.

So what's your approach.. suck it up and go any way?
Drugs? Stay next to the air filter?

Penny

I just deal with it. If it gets to be too much then I resort
to Benadryl or other antihistamines.

Just be sure someone says "Bless you" when you sneeze or you
body mey be invaded by evil spirits.

I've been taking perscription Flonase the last couple of
years. The stuff works great, but it is quite expensive.

Skiing volcanoes works too. At least above treeline.

I had to get weekly shots for allergies when I was a kid,
but the seemed to go away after we moved from FL when I was
around 8 or 9. Never had a problem until I moved to SE VA
two years ago. I knew something was wrong when I kept
getting sinus blocks on airplane flights. Doc put me on
zyrtec -- seems to do the trick with no recognizable side
effets. But as they say....YMMV
