I found a cure to my hayfever symptons...I used to suffer really badly, so bad that sometimes I would have to have days off work, went right back to my schooldays when I used to get sent home from school. A few years ago we went on a caravan rally and the field had just been cut before we got there, within a few minutes I could hardly breathe, and my eyes were raging red. We drove round trying to find a chemist which was still open to no avail but did find a herbalist shop. They prescribed some "sugar tablet" which did nothing really, but whilst I was in the shop I picked up a leaflet on allergies. There was one paragraph which mentioned that drinking milk, with certain people could act as a catalyst to hayfever symptons as there is something in milk that can react with your synuses. It recommended cutting out milk from your diet, not dairy products, cheese etc, just milk. I'd tried every kind of medication and spray going and none worked so i'd nothing to lose. I cut milk out completely and within 2 weeks hardly had any symptons for the rest of the summer. As winter came I started drinking milk again, but as soon as spring came around again I cut it out, again no symptons and no medication. I did this for three years running and now I don't even cut the milk out at all and no longer have hardly any symptons. On a really high pollen count I have taken the odd piriton but that's all, no more than three all summer.
It worked for me, and a few of my friends have tried it to some success, but I for one swear by it.
I appreciate we're not in the hayfever season at the moment, but I just found this thread and thought I may be able to help someone next year with the info. Good luck
