On top of all the petrochemical nasties I avoid breathing in
,
I now have rhinitis (streaming nose, itchy eyes and throat), and think it is likely to be birch tree pollen from the small copse at the front of my flat.
I have bought a gadget from Boots
Boots Pharmaceuticals Allergy Relief Device Batteries Included - Boots
which uses the same 'red light phototherapy' as the Lloyds machine detailed at post #24.
This red light therapy has many glowing user reviews, which is very apt because my nose visibly glows red when I use it
.
I got my deck chair out ready to have 'afternoons in the sun' during this warm spell, but it isn't possible.
The birch tree pollen season is due to end in two weeks - hope we get more sunshine in June and July.
I missed out on sunshine last summer because of the dust clouds from the Heys field construction site, and was hoping that there would be some chances of 'sitting outside' this summer.
