Ambrosia (ragweed) effects

Tweet

The explanation is simple: apparently I have an allergy to ambrosia (ragweed)! I have developed it in the recent years. Two years ago I began a treatment to diminish this allergy, or maybe get rid of it for good. The treatment consists in taking a bit of ambrosia each day and increasing the dosage until a plateau, after that I continue with the same dosage... from March until November. The good part is that I am fine until the ambrosia season begins, here it begins around July. I can see some improvement, but the days when I inhale a big dose from the atmosphere are horrible! In those days I can't breathe properly and I have the feeling of suffocating. My eyes and my nose itches.... and I can't stay outside for too long, just in the evenings. The positive part is that wearing a face mask on the street helps diminish the quantity of ambrosia pollen I inhale :))) but it isn't enough to stop all of it. Photo: wikipedia
