Pluggers by Rick McKee for February 28, 2023

Gesundheit.

And pluggers always carry a handkerchief.

I’m sensitive to tree pollen and flower pollen in the spring—March to May—but don’t have fall allergies.

We change the AC filter frequently. Indoor allergic reactions must be guarded against also.

Tis the body’s way of letting you know it is working as designed ;-)

Goldenrod seems to get unfairly blamed for allergies. But it’s not the goldenrod, it is the ragweed. Ragweed grows in the same habitat as goldenrod, and blooms at the same time as goldenrod. The ragweed isn’t noticed, because it has tiny green flowers. But a single ragweed plant can produce a billion allergy-triggering spores.

Snow mold season is just around the corner. I hope!

hard to tell seasons when almost ALL allergies affect you! miserable

For years my husband kept saying “I’m coming down with a cold”. I would tell him you can’t always be “coming down with”, you either have it or you don’t. You have allergies. But for some reason, allergies weren’t manly. Funny thing, now he has allergies.

4 season allergy sufferer here. Pollen (spring & summer), leaf mold and house dust.

I let out a good loud sneeze this morning and one of the cats fell off the back of the couch.

OK, this hits close to home.

not any longer… they run 24/7/365 now

Then there are those allergies that know no “season”: perfume, house dust, tobacco smoke…I discovered early on – much to my delight – that in addition to protecting against the COVID cooties, a proper mask works against seasonal pollen and year-round dust & mold…I may never give mine up…

Amen… For me, if it’s Cedar that means Spring, if it’s Chrysanthemum it’s summer , if it’s Poinsettias it’s Christmas…
