..."Allergies occur when the immune system misidentifies typically harmless allergens as invading foreign substances and tries to fight them off1. The severity of allergies varies from person to person and can range from minor irritation to anaphylaxis2. Exposure to an allergen prompts white blood cells to spring into action, causing inflammation in the skin, sinuses, airways, or digestive system12. Warmer winters and earlier springs, increased carbon dioxide concentration, and the COVID-19 pandemic can all contribute to heightened allergy risk34. If congestion goes on and on, allergies are more likely to blame5. Nasal steroids can be used to reduce mucosal inflammation in the nasal passages caused by allergies5. Consistently taking allergy medication and allergy-proofing your home can help protect against seasonal allergies4."...

Wear a mask. It sure has helped with mine abd its a plus when you are in line at the VA abd the guy in front is complaining about the wait to get a Covid test. Idiot didn't bother to put a mask on.
