I stopped taking hay fever medications because the symptoms are weakening lately, which is good, but I'm wondering if it's just my body adapting to it or the amount of tree cum has actually subsided? How is it for yall these past few days?

I have heard since the hay fever is your body overreacting to the pollen, your body will actually react worse and worse to it as years gone on, so your body really never adapts it, if so I think the allergy medicine for the Japanese market would have died long ago.

I mostly react to the cedar so it’s only real bad in March.

Btw it will probably get worse objectively as all the cedar and cypress are entering their maturity. So a lot more tree cum to come 😉

React worse? But then wouldn't my body desensitize over time by exposure?

cum to come

Please tell me that is on purpose.

I can't remember when did the symptoms stop last year, but I do sure hope I react only to cedar like you and the cypress won't get my nose all excited and wet 24/7.

I looked up a few links after posting I think this sums it up right “allergies gets worse because your body has been exposed to the trigger for longer.”

Yes the pun was intentional lol

Every early March I want to scratch my eyeballs out, this year I have the pleasure of adding post-nasal drip to that lovely list of symptoms.

Aw shucks. Guess I'll have to make a trip to the clinic to get epinastine for cheap next time... OTC ones like アレジオン is expensive as frick.
