Spring allergies starting earlier than normal. Why that’s expected to continue
This year's the worst, the other years were OK, but the reactant not. But this year, nothing doesn't seem to want to work. Cheryl de Care has tried every allergy medication but nothing seems to be helping. Sinus and my throat. That's why I sound all stuffy. The typical seasonal allergy symptoms, sneezing, coughing and feeling more miserable than usual are being felt by many. All I wish is they'd go away. I can't find anything that sorts them out really well. But yeah, everyone's got my sympathies. Right now about 1/4 of Canadians suffer from seasonal allergies. And if it feels like yours are worse this year, you're not the only one, as our warm months start earlier and fall tends to be warm for a bit longer that the overall season where different pollens are going up in the air is extending for longer and some more people are feeling it. There's a lot of pollen in the air. I can get like completely congested where I can't even breathe. At Victoria Commons Pharmacy, allergy medication is flying off the shelves. I actually have to order a completely new stock. Pharmacist Marcos Massey says patients have been coming in regularly asking for advice. Allergy medication, changing filters in the car or in the house and Sinus Francis, which is essentially a mixture of salt and water to help clean out the sinuses. This is a type of condition that can change over time. So your your symptoms may have been not so bad long ago and getting worse because our counts are higher. OK, a few simple strategies to keep seasonal allergies under control. The first one is obvious. Stay indoors if you can on dry and windy days. Avoid your gardening chores because they tend to stir up the allergens. And finally, if you've been outside all day, when you get home, remove your clothing and take a shower to rinse your hair and your body of that pollen. I'm going to head indoors right now because I too have been struggling with my seasonal allergies. Throw back to you in studio.
