I had to give my drivers license to the pharmacist when I bought over the counter Sudafed. I wanted to get two boxes and he said that I couldn’t do it, so I bought the one box that had the most pills in it, and then went back two weeks later and did it again. I did that for about two months until I felt that I could get through cedar season without dying.
I am not allergic to cedar pollen but to my surprise, after eating a piece of fish cooked on a cedar plank, I awoke the next morning with my tongue swollen. I could not close my mouth because of my tongue. I feel very fortunate that I did not suffocate in my sleep. Not going to make that mistake again. Two Benadryl took care of it and that was a good thing because we were miles from an ER out in the Montana hills.
