Just pondering about hayfever

[UnfunnyJester]

I was thinking if we ate more locally produced fruit and veg, would hayfever rates reduce? Would we become immune to the local pollen?

If you started growing food in the garden, did you notice any difference?
This must be why locally produced honey helps, right?

No, makes no difference. I grew up eating all home grown fruit and veg and had wicked hay fever as did my sister.

Honey has never helped me either. What has helped is Beconase nasal spray, magic stuff.

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor that's interesting.
Locally produced honey made a big difference to members of my family.

Maybe it depends on the type of hayfever.

Probably, glad it helped you, I was gutted when it didn't help.

Hasn't worked for any of us. Totally reliant on pharmaceuticals!

Historically, hayfever became far more common with industrialisation, so once upon a time perhaps staying in the same sort of place and being surrounded by the stuff you eat was significant, but that lifestyle isn't replicable now.
