I am sneezing away! Do you have allergies?

Our plum trees are yielding blossoms They yield them every year here. I am sneezing like a mad man. But I enjoy the beauty of our fruitless plum trees. Do you have allergies? I have always had allergies, and Spring in California has always made me sneeze. I made it through my lessons today, as I sneezed and taught. I am glad to be home.

I have a lot of allergies. Pollen is a big one for me. I sneeze a lot during the warmer months. I like the warmer months though.

I enjoy them too. I accept my fate as some one who has allergies.

@TheHorse Me too. I'd rather suffer from my allergies if I can enjoy nice weather.

I used to have trouble with allergies every year but they have mostly faded away.

Glad they have faded. Midwestern Summers were pretty sneezy for me. I don't know if I am allergic to the same things I was allergic to as a kid.

Yes and not joking. I am allergic to my pups and dust mites and bird feathers.

I don't get hay-fever and don't have any allergies so I'm very lucky in that respect.

It would have been a pain "on the ranch."

That doesn't look like any plum trees around here. And why don't they produce plums? It sounds like you have a good case of allergies. I've had them all my life and always had prescription medicine for allergies and asthma. I would go get some over the counter allergy tablets if I were you. You sound like you have a good case! Take care and hope you feel better tomorrow, but as long as those blooms are popping out, you will probably be sneezing.

No, thankfully. I don't know what has happened to humans. As a child I didn't ever hear about allergies, I remember the first time I met someone with hay fever, I couldn't imagine how you could be allergic to grass when we are surrounded by it! Nowadays every second person seems to be allergic to something and it affects us all by restricting what we can do.

I can totally understand the struggle of sneezing like crazy while trying to enjoy the season. I do not have allergies myself but I definitely how tough they can be, especially in place like California where the pollen really kicks in. It is great that you are able to power through lesson despite the sneezing – looks like you are a trooper! Being home after a long exhausting day must feel like a relief, especially when you are dealing with allergy. Hopefully, you can recharge and relax now when you are back. It is always nice to unwind in the comfort of home, away from pollen. Stay safe and take care of yourself! Hopefully the sneezing will ease up. Take care!

My allergies are terrible. I didn't even know I had any until this time last year at age 59 but now they're almost unbearable. I take allergy shots, allergy pills, and nasal sprays.

I don’t know if this is a real allergy bur I am allergic to cold weather. My skin gets too dry and itch. Hence, I get rashes. On another hand, the heat also gives me kind of allergy with the same effect. When I sweat a lot, it gives me rashes. So I really don’t know. My body temperature should always be room temperature? Lol!
