Winter is over and allergies begin again


I hate winter cold, but the one benefit winter brings to my life is a long break from allergies. Yesterday, being the first nice day of March, my wife and I did some yard work, and today my allergies are back with a vengeance. Awhile back I bought masks to wear during yardwork, but I'm sceptical they actually will do some good and so have failed to wear them most times. Well, today I'm convinced that I need to do something about these allergies! In the future I'll be doing some experimenting with wearing the mask and will report on my blog what I find out. Another strategy I have, and didn't follow yesterday, is taking a shower immediately after yard work to remove dirt and pollen from your hair and body.
