    Hi Val

    Yes, and another prob on top of all the others mentioned in the cafe, I have to cope with hayfever, which for me, starts in February.
    My eyes are getting redder and redder at the moment.
    I have to stay indoors once OH has cut the lawn. I am allergic to the fungus that comes off the trees asthey come into life again.

    I can't take antihystamins. I am even allergic to that. I try and drink as much camomile tea with local honey in it. The Rose Hip seems to be helping. I have to have Alomide eye wash and Beclometasone Dipropionate Aqueous Nasal Spray. :roll: :roll:
    Also some eye ointment at night. Other things I find help it are fizzy drinks and chewing gum. The gum keeps the soliver in my mouth moist and stops getting sore throats.
    So for me, it's roll on winter again. Usually the irritation of the hayfever starts chest infections off with me rather than catching colds, of which, I am happy to say, I have not had any this winter. Do you think that could be the Rose Hip I started last Summer?

    Joy

    No cure val although I hear if it's specific to one flower then honey made from it's pollen helps, I am getting a bit this time due to trees I think,my wife really suffers with it,the only plant that normally gets me is oil seed rape, they grow loads of it round here it also bloody well stinks to boot!.

    I hate the smell of it too, especially when it has finished flowering
    It gives me a sore throat, makes my nose tickle.

    I would like to get some deceit sun glasses this year to help but they are too expensive.

    I shall be tucked away in my studio today, keeping out of the sun.
