Yesssssss choo!

But I didnt get it in the Isle of Man last year. I think being close to the sea helps. I hope Mrs Lastlid doesnt get it here.

yeahh chooo...maybe you are not prone to hayfever. some people easily catch it. It's also the immunity system of your body. But there are a lot of remedies, natural tablets & medicines that we can buy over the counter. I guess living close to the sea is safe because the air is more fresher. Hayfever is a type of allergy caused by pollen or dust that makes a person sneeze or having watery eyes. It's seasonal. I don't really know how it feels but maybe it's like a bit of bronchitis. When I was little, every summer in the Philippines as we live near this 'caimito'- star apple tree & everytime it blooms (some flowers comes out then the fruit follows), I easily got sick. I sneeze & even have breathing difficulty...maybe it's something like that.

I do get it. Had it from the age of 13. But I never had it at sea or in the desert. I didnt have it in the Philippines and not yet in the Isle of Man. I am allergic to grass pollen in the main. I had tests done about 10 years ago and it was grass pollen that does it for me.

I once worked on a rig just off Blackpool for a few years. You could see the rig from the beach. I never got hayfever then either. Yes, I think the sea air dilutes it.

oh thank you lastlid. it reminds me that my broncitis then upgraded to asthma Doc said it's genetic too (my mum). But when I gave birth to my first son, I don't have it anymore. It's a miracle really I don't know what happens. But (other topic) I am not prone to broncitis and asthma anymore but I suddenly I become allergic to my fave prawns & crabs - after I gave birth to my first son.... I miss eating them. But in return I don't have the pollen/ dust allergy anymore.

Thanks again for the thread...I will have a read now

Yes. I swear I feel less pain since I had my gall bladder removed! Strange eh, how the body works.
