Thread: Allergies...who else suffers?

Was about to post a thread along the same lines.
I have NEVER had hayfever in my life.Around 8 years ago I was swathing canola(windrowing it to dry it for harvest),the aircon failed in the tractor and I had to open the windows.My face swelled considerably and ended up having to stop work as I couldnt stop sneezing.Ever since when the canola is in full bloom my sinus' and throat swell and eyes run.We have canola in full bloom all over the district at the moment,looks pretty,but its really starting to annoy me.
Had an antihistamine before going to the Mud comp today,didnt touch the symptoms.
Trying LANDYANDY medicine now,a few cold pints.

I hear ya mate, for me it almost gets to the point of being debilitating and that I just want to scratch my eyes out. Plus when it gets infected and you have to continually clean muck out. Last year when I went to pick up my now dearly departed Diesel from the breeder, I had such a severe reaction that I couldnt drive, my eyes swelled up and could hardly see.

I can be allergic to pet hair, one on one with a dog, not so much a problem, a whole heap, different scenario. Interestingly, I am also allergic to cats....not that is interesting as such as many people are....but with our bengal cat ( annoying as it can be) because it has a pelt as opposed to fur...no probs at all. Not that I am prone to cuddling it . So far just sticking to the coldies, if I have an antihistimine now with the brew, well as far as I know...not a good combo ,
