Remedy

Hay fever season

Nettle infusion is the honest local try. It is not an EpiPen and not a reason to skip the Benadryl in the kit.

Wheeze, throat, hives that spread, collapse: anaphylaxis. See First ten minutes.

Do this

  1. 1.Start nettle infusion when the trees dust, if you are a person who wants to try it.
  2. 2.Rinse the face and eyelashes. Sleep with the windows shut on high pollen days if you can.
  3. 3.Diphenhydramine is in the med chest for a reason.

Recipes

Nettle infusion

Spring mineral jar. Food-like, not a cold cure, but the cup people miss when the greens are gone.
