I have been feeling "under the weather" for a few weeks. It's not very
defineable, but one symptom is a ferociously itchy nose. And
Cetirizine, the treatment for hay fever, did a lot of good.

Of course it doesn't have to be POLLEN. Fungus spores might do just
the same. It stopped suddenly 2 days ago, and I feel fit again. I live
in Newcastle. Any comments?

on Tyne or under Lyme?

Caused by ragweed pollen according to a national newspaper

Ragweed is not yet established in Britain and certainly not in
Northern England, where there is the one and only NEWCASTLE - ON -
TYNE.

Newcastle is one of the most common town names.Which one is yours?
