I love the Spring time. After months of dismal weather, cold limbs and dry skin, Spring brings with it a sense of relief that lightens nearly everyone’s mood. Well, that’s how I used to feel. Now I live in New Jersey, USA and although I adore the reawakening of Mother Earth, every single Spring I now experience the worst case of itchy eyes, runny nose and all around general irritableness. What the hell? I was told last year, after what I thought was a serious chest infection, actually turned out to be a sinus infection, that I have allergies. Me. Allergies. I have never in my whole life experienced an allergic reaction to anything back in England, never had hay-fever or any of the like. Why then do I get allergies in New Jersey? Is there a different pollen count in the air? Has God just decided to spite me and turn me into a miserable wench? I think so, because right now I’m grouchy and mean and I just don’t like it. Someone out there, tell me some cures for allergies because I can’t stand this much longer, I feel like someone has dropped hot sauce into my eyeballs….
