There was athgreda on this the other day, someone suggestde locally produced honey - something to do with eating the pollen.....I don't know!!

mumalone · 10/06/2005 17:39

I heard about eating honey a while ago, i havent gave that one a go yet.I certainly will though, i ll try anything. Poor you JM hayfever is just not funny, even worse when you cant take anything. Have you tried any herbal remedys or will they not be suitable?

THe honey thing is apparently true. It has to be very local though so that you eat the local pollens and become 'immune' to them.

I hate hayfever. I've had it terribly since I was about 6 and it ruins the summer!! Have tried and tested anything and everything and find nothing helps - haven't tried anything herbal - might be worth a shot........

mumalone, i get the touch of hayfever, you know, sneezing, itchy throat. vaseline on tip of cotton bud and give each nostril and swipe inside. works for me!!!

jessicasmummy · 10/06/2005 17:51

havent tried anything.... havent had a problem til yesterday and it hit with a vengence!

mumalone · 10/06/2005 17:55

I find neo-clarityn works a treat - only available on prescription though. Also just for the record there's something in apples which is a natural anti-histamine so get eating them!

mumalone · 10/06/2005 18:12

I ll add apples to my shopping list then!!
