Does anyone know when the pollen season is over?
My hay fever is crazy but to be honest, the pollen count should have dropped off by now, so if you're still being affected now it's gonna be because of pollutants. Are you taking antihistamines? Do you wash your face and hair when you come in from the outside?





I cycle too and wear sunglasses. Also, you could get one of those masks - cyclists here wear them all the time.





And why don't you cycle to work?
Reply:I have hay fever and what i found is before the season gets under way get some honey from a local farm shop or store, my nurse suggested this and i tried it this year, you have a teaspoon of honey everyday and because it contain all the pollen from the surrounding area it helps build up a Resistance, my nurse also told me to drink a pro-biotic drink as some studies have shown that they help with allergies especially hay fever, so this summer i got the honey and a pre and pro-biotic drink called vitality and had one a day, my hay fever has been less severe this year and for the first time in years i enjoyed going out to parks and farms with the kids, i don't know if anyone else has tried this but it has worked for my and i have managed to cut down on the antihistamines that i took. hope this helps you good luck for the rest of the sneezing season.
Reply:It really depends on what type of pollen you are allergic to! I suffer in the spring when the Birch trees are chucking out pollen. It sounds as if you are allergic to grass pollen and many grasses are ripening now. The only way to find out is to have an allergy test to see which type of pollen is causing your symptoms. As a defence mechanism you could try taking antihistamines which suppress the immune response to anything! Your pharmacist will advise.
Reply:If you want to keep cycling during pollen season, get one of those masks. They will keep all of the pollen out of your breathing area. I do not know if you are in the United States, but if you are, I am including a link to a map that you can use to get your pollen count forcast. It is very reliable. If you are not in the U.S., try doing a search for pollen map. I will also send a link to a mask that cyclists wear for protection from dust, dirt, and bugs. At 10 microns, it will keep out pollen. Maybe they sell them at your local bike shop.
Reply:I also have seasonal allergies so I feel your pain. My doctor has prescribed both Allegra and Singulair for my allerigies and they both work well. I dont know where you are, but pollen season ends when there is a good hard frost. Im in the US midwest and generally that is sometime early in October.
Reply:By october it will have gone - simple as!
