Is there pollen in the air already?
My nose has been running non-stop with explosive sneezing for the last few days, but I'm pretty sure that I don't have a cold because
But I can't figure out what's going on. Usually Pollen.com starts sending me pollen notices in late March, but this year they insist that the local pollen count is Low. Is anybody else in Minnesota having hay fever type symptoms?
- I haven't had a sore throat, which is ALWAYS my first cold symptom
- My eyes are a little itchy, which is one of my reactions to pollen
- Nose is cleared up immediately (for 4 hours, anyway) by those little red decongestant pills

I never used to have hay fever at all and am pretty put out about this. I don't know what all I'm allergic to, but I've been sniffling and occasionally sneezing for about three weeks.
I've done copious numbers of rapid antigen tests in that time period, because I don't see either my mom and brother or Eric unless we've all done two tests beforehand.

A friend of mine is allergic to birch pollen, and was worried that they would have to get rid of the birches in their yard, but the allergist opined that it wouldn't make any difference because there was so very much birch in Minnesota generally.

I'll be starting on my nasal spray shortly.
