Wow, I kinda got spoiled having no allergies on the island. I come back home, WHAMMO! Pollen everywhere, so thick you can see it flying in the air. I'm glad that's over with now.

are u starting to develop allergies to yourself?

I've had an awful case of hives since I came to the rock. I get no respiratory effects at all (which is strange since I wear out the Allegra every spring at home). I saw a commercial for Zyrtec saying "now indicated for skin allergies, ask your doctor" and it works about 80%, pretty nice. Although I imagine that Allegra, etc. could be used off-label...

Pollen counts are astronomical this spring. The "skin allergies" = urticaria. Allegra should work just fine for that. G

i was never good at philosophy

It isn't the Allegra you are allergic to....it is the "Allegra-ness". Sartre.
