Been hauling Sand and Clay A LOT, dusty Conditions then noticed some Odd plant life appeared to be Cultivated in after harvest, a Cover Crop. Really BRIGHT Yellow Flowers, MILLIONS of 'em, and seeing it EVERY Where around where we work. Spoke to guy doing fertilizing runs, is Goldenrod, used as a Soil Amendment as roots tend to break up compacted surface, Pollinators LOW Them so also drawn to where are and to the next generation planting coming up under, BTW a Native NOT Introduced Plant. Anyone else see such as this? My Eyes and Sinuses can barely stand the dust, now these.

yeah I had/have allergies since I was 9 or 10..took needles back then.. trees,grass,cats...so what do I a 'city slicker' do....buy a house in the country,1/3acre grass to cut, pine trees that 'attack' me AND have 1-2 cats for past 40 years. 1st 5 cats I was highly allergic to but Cloudy is my best friend. NO reaction, NO gouge your eyes out cause they ITCH !!! might helps.... If your ride has an air filter in the HVAC unit, get RID of it ! Also, use a leaf blower to get rid of 'dust and pollen' when done for the day. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Get some local honey. ask a local beekeeper if he can get a hive near the goldenrod, and use that honey, don't take much, just some on a piece of toast, every day while the pollen is in season... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

Yes, local honey can be a good remedy. I used to be same as Jay, always seemed to be streaming and snotting all summer & cats triggered my asthma. Then when I took up smoking it all seemed to clear up... Not at all saying this is the solution & I know you are a former smoker yourself Dave, but it's pretty strange how it don't get me now. ------------- Stuck Farmer |
