friday five: allergies
1. Do you have Spring or Fall allergies?
I can't tell. I guess both?
2. Do you have something in particular that you are allergic to or is it just general?
Probably. But it's not bad enough for me to want to nail it down. I've also known too many people who went in for allergy testing, only to be told "you're allergic to everything", so why bother?
3. What do you take, if anything, to help?
Kirkland Signature Aller-Tec, compare to Zyrtec. If it's spring or fall and I feel bad for a few days in a row I'll start taking one a day. I honestly can't tell if it helps or not.
4. Do you seem to be saying, “It’s just allergies” a lot more than usual these days (i.e. because of Covid)?
My COVID came with a really sore throat that wasn't allergy-like, more cold like, but I could definitely see how it could be confused. It was all in our sinuses.
5. What do you hope to get out and do this spring, allergies and pandemic willing?
Gardening! I have plans to move that rock bed in my back yard and plant real plants... but where did my plans go? Curse February, I can't ever even remember what I meant to grow. I can't even remember that anything grows. Well I definitely don't have any symptoms of allergies today.
