The article discusses an individual's experience testing hay fever remedies amidst the frustrations of seasonal allergies. Having to stop using their usual antihistamine, the writer explored various alternatives like local honey. Despite optimism, the remedies often fell short, highlighting the discomfort of sneezing and allergic reactions in nature. Anecdotes illustrate the absurdity of pollen reactions likened to a "chihuahua losing its mind at the postman," emphasizing the emotional toll allergies can take during enjoyable summer activities like walks in the woods and picnics.
For starters, I had to give up my daily pill (second-generation antihistamine Allevia, which works fairly well) to test supposed alternatives.
I wanted to give each purported panacea a fair shot, so I had to go in with eyes streaming and nose a-blazing.
My body's reaction to its pollen is like a chihuahua losing its furry little mind at the postman. Both overreactions are very real, very annoying.
I promptly sneezed into it. Long, soggy seconds passed as I untangled its Velcro fastenings from my hair.
