It has been raining in Northern Virginia for the past two days and it looks like it may rain again tomorrow. The rain is giving us a break from the pollen, but the pollen will come back with a vengeance later on this week.
On Sunday, I along with many others in the Northern Virginia area noticed an increase in allergy symptoms. I now have laryngitis because of all the mucous draining down my throat over the weekend. It's also causing mucous to go into my lungs. Not even Mucinex and herbal throat tea are helping to get the wheezing to go away.
I may have to go out and buy another bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar. It clears mucous out, is all natural and doesn't cost much. Everyone who has recommended it to me has also recommended that I get the organic, all-natural apple cider vinegar with 'the Mother' in it. I tried it before and it does work, but I ran out during my last bought with mucous.
I have had one neighbor who has laryngitis, not including myself, one friend who developed a sinus infection and another who had very swollen, itchy eyes.
Has anyone else noticed an increase in allergy symptoms? What were your symptoms?

I started off with a sore throat over a week ago, then congestion--which started to turn into an infection but I rememdied w/garlic. Now there is mucous to no end. I am hoarse and have mucous in my chest. This is my first summer in NoVA. What could be causing this?
ReplyDeleteBefore I came to NOVA, I would take a Zyrtec a day and be fine, but since I moved to Virginia, the allergens have been kicking my butt! I developed a really bad case of Bronchitis and it went downhill from there. They say that the reason allergies are so bad in the NOVA area is because of three things: 1) pollution, 2) the North meets the South here so we have both Northern and Southern vegetation and 3) we are in the valley of the Shenandoah mountains (valleys have higher pollen counts). If you do feel symptoms, try to get it taken care of right away by seeing an Allergist and increasing your allergy medicine and decreasing your time outdoors. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I have had chest congestion ever since I've moved here, even with allergy shots and the multitude of medicine I am on.
