    Don't suffer from it myself.
    Kissing has been proven to suppress the body's allergic reaction to pollen.

    Because no actual person will want to kiss your sorry ass, cup your hand into a loose fist and kiss where the opening would be around the thumb...you'll be cured in no time. ;)

    Yep today was an exceptionally bad day for me. Can feel the swelling in my sinus. I have been taking luffa complex throughout the year and I'm hoping it may help build my tolerance to pollen, only time will tell! And to those of you who scoff and say hayfever is a gay complaint, you wouldn't know man! It's actually worse than AIDS* :mad:

    Hmm. They're usually good :/

    Maybe go to a pharmacy / doctor and see what they suggest?

    If you're suffering that badly, it's definitely worth your while! Poor thing :(

    Have you tried this, OP?

    Nasaleze:
    Nasaleze is a nasal powder that lines the nasal passages and sinuses to enhance the production of nasal mucus. This forms an invisible, gel-like filter over the lining of nasal passages that helps stop pollen triggering an allergic reaction. Squeeze and sniff the bottle to inhale the inert cellulose nasal powder. In most cases, hay fever symptoms are controlled within three to ten seconds and works for up to 24 hours.

    and a stuffed noise...

    I used to suffer from this but not anymore, the best advice for you is to start using the hayfever tabs on the 1st of April and build your immune system up before the pollon season reaches its peak then you'll be fine, I used to do this for years. :)

    It's handily enough googled, and it looks like it's over the counter.

    Here.

    And Here.
    This product is not a medicine, nor a drug. No prescription is required. It is a pharmaceutical grade of an inert white powder. Nasaleze is safe and more effective than a drug or medicine, because it treats the cause and not the symptoms of the allergic reaction. It has no side effects, this product in no way impacts other medical regimes being taken.

    It says it's not a medicine nor a drug, so I would assume it's safe.

    But please do check google yourself OP, don't take these links as gospel.:pac:

    Most new agers are very 'enviromentally conscious' & would not be seen dead wearing a product on their head that is not easily biodegradable.

    They would possibly wear aluminium hats instead, though the extensive use of aluminium foil has been criticized by some environmentalists because of the high resource cost of extracting aluminium, primarily as a result of the large amount of electricity used to the process bauxite ore.

    However, this cost is greatly reduced via recycling, reduced energy requirements during transport due to lighter weight packages, and the fact that many foods that would otherwise perish can be protected over long periods without refrigeration.

    Most likely though, the would wear woolen hats.

    :D

    Nasaleze is fantastic stuff but as far as I am aware it's not sold in Ireland. Last summer I ordered a box over the internet, it's not expensive at all. You might as well ask your pharmacist just in case, but I know I spent a long time looking last year and was told it had been discontinued.

    If you're in boots ask for a nifty little product called 'Hay Max.' It's a lavender scented balm that you rub on the entrance of your nose and keeps pollen out.

    Last but not least if you find Zirtek a good product ask your pharmacist for the generic version. I think you can get thirty of tablets for the price of seven zirtek and it's literally the exact same tablet.

    These are 30p for a months worth and are the same as Zirtek.
    I started taking them a month ago and no hay fever. They work great!
