Question Hayfever:::
I've just been in the garden and have an allergy to my garden.
Whats the best easy way to avoid it besides not going into the garden.
Its gets worse every year.
Skin itches, sneezing coughing and runny nose, when this happens.
I'm a tough bloke but this has got me wheezing and avoiding my husbandry
duties (in the garden that is)

Ron,

The best way to attack hay fever, in my experience, is to go see an allergy
specialist. The stuff you buy over the counter are only effective for a
while, they are not cheap as you have to keep buying them to treat the
symtoms and not the causes. They could give you side effects too.

Reason I suggest you see a specialist is to find the allegent(s) or the root
cause of your hay fever (pets/pollens/dust/etc) and be given a course of
desensitisation treatment for those allergents. Normally an injection under
the skin every fortnight for a year or so but now there are equivalent oral
tablets so you don't have to go to the GP for injections anymore.

Do talk/ask your GP about it first and get a referral to see a specialist.

Good luck Ron.
