Allergies

Does anyone else feel like a giant cloud of pollen is chasing them around DC these days?

I’m not sure what’s going on – but, man, it seems like the allergies are out of control right now. It’s torture – wanting to be outside because it’s beautiful but needing to stay inside so as to continue breathing. Not even the medications seem to be working! Any one else suffering?

  1. Yeah…my allergies more or less last all year, but I can really tell when it’s spring when I can’t see out my car windshield because of a thick coating of yellow pollen…ugh

    This was recommended by a friend who has severe allergies, never tried it myself but it may help:
    take less then ΒΌ teaspoon of turmeric + pinch of black pepper mixed in a glass of milk – warm it in microwave for 1 min 30 sec – stir it and drink before going to bed or any time of day.
