Tapped my first birch tree today, collected half a litre in five hours, was surprised how quick it came out.Thing is i suffer from hay fever and discovered when i drank it my eyes itched and i started sneezing. Can this happen or was it just coincidence?????

Lots of people's hay fever is caused by tree pollen so I guess it's possible you're alergic to the sap too.
 
Hi noob here,
i've been living in croatia bout a year and a half and hayfever here is hardcore. i'm allergic to birch pollen, and i hear birch sap might be the cure... and i'm desperate! Its april now already tho, quite late for tapping... But there r mountains an hour away, and if there are bald trees or even still snow there, does that mean i can still stick a straw in any white barked tree and start drinking?
