Hay fever sufferers urged to prepare with a challenging grass pollen season forecast
www.abc.net.au
Experts say Victoria's hayfever season could be worse than average, with high-to-extreme grass pollen levels expected from today.

I’ve stocked up on antihistimines and have been using my Nasonex daily for a while, so hopefully won’t be too badly affected.

    I straight up just go around town with 3m respirator with 2097 filter. 2091 works too but 2097 will protect you from farts and light to medium sewage smell. Highly recommended for bike commute next to cars too.

    Recently I got to experience the true power of a real allergy attack. I mowed a paddock of long grass that hadn’t been touched in decades. Wearing a 95 mask and goggles but they were those workshop goggles with breather holes. Showered after but for the next 2 weeks it was the torments of the damned. Patches on my face, wrists, back of the neck, shins at top of my socks, anywhere straps or sleeves rubbed the dust into my skin, turned into suppurating landscapes of itch. Cetrizine slowly beat it back but I don’t like to fiddle with my immune system. Next time I’ll wear a Hazmat coverall like you do when stripping fibro off a building.
