Damn I hate all this oak pollen floating around. I swear I haven't been able to breathe since Monday.

 

My wife has been in bed all week , due to it.

I thought I'd check and see what what else might be pollenating, this time of year.

This is what I found in Central Texas;

Never really had a problem with allergies growing up. Then I moved to Texas.

Luckily I don't get hit as bad as some people, but it still gets me a little fatigued and on some weeks I get that annoying itching in the nose. I hate the heavy duty pollen we get here.

 

Yea when I was growing up in theDallas area my allergies were never a problem, then I moved to Austin. The Oak is so bad right now that there is a coat of green dust over everything.

 

you might want to try some local honey (the kind bees make), my wife and daughter had allergies and this did and help ALOT!

 

Allergies have been killing me for a while. My wife hates Texas for that reason. I grew up here so I am use to it but she is from Idaho and loves TX but hates the humidity and allegies.
