Well I have the sniffles so I sort of know how you feel.
I never knew you could have allergies in the winter.
Learned something new today.:)
I am highly allergic to mountain cedar (juniper) pollen. I normally get a mixture of two steroids. One takes effect within hours and the other lasts over a month. I am scheduled to get my shot tomorrow.
The male trees are almost brown this time of the year and when they spread their pollen, the air looks like it's full of smoke. People new to this area have actually called fire departments thinking the trees were on fire.
We also have high mold counts this time of the year. There are some of those that I am allergic to, and I have to take pills for those.
