Allergies already in March??

17 years ago

I don't generally experience seasonal allergies, but have a few times in recent years. However, it seems really early in the year to be having this issue.

I've been having some symptoms for a few days. I stayed somewhere else for a couple nights and the symptoms lessened. Just got back home and have noticed an increase.

I was thinking it might be from a dusty house/stale air. But if that's the case, why haven't I had this all winter?

What do those of you more knowledgeable about allergies think?

I guess I need to start experimenting with what might help...

I was wandering around the yard snooping for my Leopards Bane, shoving dead leaves around, etc. Guess I better stop that until my Hubby gets it all cleand up in a few weeks. Dang...
