Hay fever+ biking..

It's terrible when you get it really bad Durb.
Some years I get it bad and some years I don't get it all. I think this year will be average.

I remember when I was in high school one year I had it really bad. I'd wake up in the morning, but by the time I'd woken up my eyes had already been streaming water and gunk. SO by the time I woke up it had dried and glued my eyelids and eye lashes together. Had to lay there for half an hour with cucumbers on haha.

I do suffer really badly with it! piriteze is pretty much the only thing that works for me anyway!

I take the Boots own-brand cetirizine and it keeps mine under control pretty well, then i use eye drops on really bad days to stop my eyes going all itchy/puffy.

I've met a few people who swear by eating locally produced honey regularly to help with their hayfever. I haven't tried it myself but I might give it a go... Read more here.

I suffered badly up until the age of 35. I'd have sneezing fits that blew the veins in my nostrils out and cover me in blood, eyes would be a puffy mess... None of the drugs of the day worked particularly well.

I started using form fitting sealed glasses (sorta like swimmers googles but made from a pair of Oakleys) and a swimmers nose clamp donned after sticking my head under a tap and washing eyes and nose very carefully.

Cheers
