I remember the first time I realized I had seasonal allergies. That was way back in the late 90s in CT. Early spring, and I was convinced I had the flu. Back then Flonase was prescription only. Thank goodness it is now OTC!

2. Yeah, but we tend to forget when the spring weather is weird

We just have a lot of snow over the last few days, but that didn't stop the trees and grasses from waking up!

3. !!!!! I'd say we're in different parts of the country. No snow here! Rain, yes, for mold growth.

6. I've heard of the wildflower honey but never tried it

You say you used it over the winter to build up resistance? How "local" is your honey?

5. We're pretty much past it here in NE Fl, but pollen was brutal in Feb and March.

My glass top table on the patio was covered in pollen for months. My nose was completely shut and I couldn't stop sneezing. It was miserable. Still some residue, but bearable.
