I've had bad hay fever since 1977 the day I ran across a wheat field chasing a tractor that happened to be spraying the field at the time. Had 2 years of a 3 year trial of some new hayfever-cure injections as a child that stopped because too many kids swelled up and who knows what, didn't do anything to me, perhaps I was the control. Had antihistamines, lately loratadine, blue inhaler, brown ones, cream ones, eye drops, nose spray, all sorts of fun.

 

Quitting being a spraying contractor made life a lot easier, but it wasn't until I packed in the hay baling contracting that I could stop wearing the mask.

 

Then last spring, just as I was contemplating what antihistamine to go for this year (which always make me drowsier that normal), my wife bless her presented me with this little bottle of something herbal. Because she cares, and means well, I didn't laugh at her and say something about it being as effective as tap water, I said I'd give it a go.

 

Luffa. Tastes like very watered down whisky when put in water.

 

After all these years of sneezing, red eyes, wheezing, last year I had almost no symptoms of hay fever. So this year I'm having this Luffa stuff again, so far so good! So much better than all those little white pills, puffers, eyedrops! Can't believe it works, maybe it just cleared up on it's own?

 

Haven't really pushed my luck- eg running through a hay field as it's being tedded, but can get away with brushcutting stinging nettles in flower, something that would have floored me previous years. Really no hay fever symptoms so long as I remember to take it morning and evening.

 

Apologies for long post!
