I've actually written a song about hating buckthorn, and because I have no consideration for my fellow blogger's eardrums, I'm actually going to record myself singing it, along with a friend playing the piano!Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475421075331245419.post-2004849359607848162009-02-05T06:58:00.000-08:002009-02-05T06:58:00.000-08:00My daughter is allergic to most trees, both conife...My daughter is allergic to most trees, both conifers and deciduous, so I know how miserable you must be.

Unless you move to the North Pole SOMETHING will be pollinating! I've lived enough places to know, there is always something to get the allergies going Spring, Summer, and Fall.

My allergies always begin in my ears and eyes, so when I wake up with my eyes glued shut and drainage dripping from my ears, I know the pollen's high!

But you are right--things are much different on the north side of Austin than the south. Daughter lives off of Convict Hill, and I can be fine at home, and come down with a headache when I get that far south. <BR/><BR/>I use a product called Sinus Rinse (very original, no?). My allergist recommended it as the netti pot always made me feel I was drowning myself. <BR/><BR/>Good thoughts on products from China...I had not thought about bad stuff in herbal remedies, but that is a distinct possibility!Morning Glories in Round Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988634441429032483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475421075331245419.post-81049252405305704232009-02-03T06:04:00.000-08:002009-02-03T06:04:00.000-08:00Annie, whoever would have thought that such a mala...Annie, whoever would have thought that such a malaise could be the inspiration for so much creativity?

I prefer to go with the Georgetown count as I think the city one is always way out of line with where we live. Trouble is on those beautiful days like today I just have to go out to work in the garden. I'm not so sure about the herbals ESP. I would want to be sure they did not come from China as they may have goodness knows what in them. Try using a netti pot. That really helps.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475421075331245419.post-4736974141619677802009-02-02T18:45:00.000-08:002009-02-02T18:45:00.000-08:00Thanks for the tip on the herbal remedies, ESP.

Just at the right moment, the male tree will give off it's pollen all at once, and it looks like an orange bomb has gone off--poof! Windy days are the worst, and we've had quite a few of those lately with no rain to wash it all away.
