friday five: allergies

[spacefem]

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?

Sounds like you have big plans for the Spring. I blame the memory loss on Covid (I blame everything on Covid). I'm sure once you get to the nursery, you will find all sorts of lovely things to plant. We're still a month away from that stage, yet, but soon.

Happy planting!

A buttload of various pollen, from early spring until fall, and the rest of the year, I have a runny nose as well.

Also, I am allergic to fish and seafood. One kind of the pollen I am allergic to is bullwort - which is actually a cross-reacting allergy with seafood.

I will do some cutting and pasting here since I got these questions twice on my friends feed:
I'm seasonally allergic to some sort of plant around here which I can't identify but in May my eyes sometimes itch very badly. This is only in May and it doesn't even happen every year. I am also allergic to cats and Target's store brand of dish soap and I react badly to antibiotics.
