I've been lucky not to have any allergies but I do get mild asthma and started getting a little bit of hay fever a few years ago, I think set off by tree pollen. I usually take an over-the-counter antihistamine until it stops but this year its gone on and on! I had a polyester throw in the living room and I've noticed my hay fever symptoms are much better now I've removed it. Could the two things be connected?

I can’t imagine a polyester throw would give you hayfever but who am I to say? I have hayfever and when I jog in polyester leggings I get an allergic reaction like hives.. itches like mad. Interesting though.

My husbands hayfever has been going on and on too. He’s usually finished by early August but he’s still sneezy. So it could be something else in the air.
