Pollen and Allergies

[ivar]

Hi all,

Just to let the allergic pilgrims out there know that over the weekend the pine pollen (that yellow dust) "hit" in and around Galicia. My car was all yellow this morning. (Monday March the 30th 2015)

Just a warning to those allergic pilgrims out there.

Buen camino!
Ivar

Thanks Ivar. A timely reminder to remember our hay fever sprays when packing, although we have never needed them when in Spain which is interesting.

Thanks for the information, I've been taking allergy meds for 2 weeks.... Virginia is horrible.

You would never know in Basqueland, the rain falls mainly on "every day."

Mother Nature says we are not ready for that yet, we just had a couple inches of snow yesterday. Today it is mostly melted already

Azelastine is the magic bullet it knocks it out instantly. You can get a large bottle in france for ten or so euro.

The other treatments are less effective, more side effects - cortico steroids - non effective over priced rubbish.

Once you try azelastine you will never again use that other pharmacy -profiteering crap.
