Sorry about your hayfever, Char. I know what that feels like.
I actually haven't had to take medication for allergies in a few years now. I never had them until after I had kids, and they have gotten milder the last few years, and this year I didn't feel anything at all. My oldest either, and he was always the worst for allergies. Now its my little one's turn, but if he follows his brother's pattern, he might grow out of it in a few years.
Peace,

Thanks, Tammy.
I try hard to take as little medication as possible, though for some things it's essential. As to allergies, yes, it runs in our family, right through. Previous generations both sides as far back as i can go. Of my children a number are allergic in different ways, and unfortunately, unlike you, my own allergies seem to be spreading. Most difficult are the anti optics I used to be fine with and now can't take. My husband became allergic to bee stings after we'd been keeping bees for several years. Conversely, not only did I not show any allergy to them,but they seemed calm and content around me and I never once got stung. After he had a severe anaphylactic shock reaction, we sold the bees. I was very sad, but it had to be.
On the plus side, this was before the veroa mite came into Britain, so we were spared those problems.
