Default OT query - allergic reaction

I have suffered hay fever for a number of years - usually around June time -
this year touch wood no symptoms at all.
However have recently been diagnosed as asthmatic after a 6 day stay in
hospital december last year.
It may be the inhaler that contains steroids that help me in what would have
been a very sneezy June.

I've never had hay-fever or any allergies in my life, but over the last
couple of months had lots of sudden unexpected violent sneezes. Runner
bean
foliage has also become a new problem - it makes my arms itch.

I have had the sneezes, too and with no apparent rhyme or reason to it. I
sneeze 7 or 8 times and it's over!


He'd misformatted so that his message (and your signature as quoted by
him) appeared to be a signature. Many newsreaders, yours presumably
included, don't incorporate signatures into the quoted material for a
reply.

(I can't help you with the allergy question, 'cos I've been suffering from
hayfever for decades, but it hasn't seemed a particularly bad season - I
did worry that the April weather might have encouraged the grass to be
overexuberant, but there's been so much wet, overcast weather since ...)
