Allergies

Many of us experience the spring time sniffles. Some worse than others, some just plain bad. My Dad and I both have extremely bad allergies when it comes to pollen. In the spring when all the little flowers decide it's time to bloom, they release their pollen into the air, with the help of pollenators. Thanks. The little particles of pollen then brush off the feet and antena of these little insect helpers and blow through the air, sometimes landing in your vicinity or even brushing up against your nose. This is no bueno. The little pieces of pollen enter the nose and it's up to your body to decide how it reacts. Sometimes the body decides the pollen is an invader and attacks, causing an allergy to develop. For some people, their body just allows the pollen to pass, free from any of the side effects. Trust me, for living a life where 2 months a year you have a runny nose, itchy, watery eyes and you sneeze multiple times a day, you are so lucky if you do not have allergies! This video explains it a little more.
So whether you do or don't have allergies, you now know who to thank when you are sneezing like crazy, unless it was the cat!
