Allergies and pollen
|

| I have mentioned a few times what a problem I've had with pollen and
allergies. Although I have pretty much eliminated the problem with
Naphcon A drops, the pollen is getting ridiculous! The cars in my
neighborhood are completely coated with a heavy dusting of pollen.
When picking a place to live.. think about the trees in the area.
Often the bst looking trees are also the ones that produce incredible
amounts of pollen (like oak trees).

If you thinks oaks pump it out, try tamaracks.
Watch it on the Naphcon A drops, you can get a viscious rebound effect
from longer term usage, plus I believe this drop tends to dissolve
lipids.
Also, does your car have a pollen/dust filter? If not, try locating
your HVAc inlet vents and stuffing them looselywith home air filter
element material. It's a jury rig but it works, and barely reduces your
air intake.
Hosing down the outside of your living area - lawn, siding, etc will
help lay down these irritants.

| I only use the Naphcon drops when needed.. I have probably only used
them 2 days a week. At the moment, the eye problem is gone so I'm not
using them at all.
My allergy problems are not that frequent or severe, so I haven't
taken further steps to deal with the pollen. It took me a year of
fighting with the county to get them to remove 7 of the 8 "punk" trees
in the neighborhood. They never did remove the biggest one - which is
also the one furthest from where I live. On one of the trees, I made
the mistake of trying to kill it. Don't do that. Those trees grow
like weeds and get to 100 feet tall. When "injured" it triggers them
into producing much more pollen than they ordinarily do.. and the tree
sends out streamers that develop into new trees.. and the original
tree winds up surviving. Even cutting them down isn't good enough.
The stump must be killed - and that isn't easy.
I think I will take a trip to Torrance, CA for Arbor Day.
I'm sure those drops do break up lipids. When having an allergic
reaction and there are excessive lipids.. that is a good thing.
