Floradude Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 For the past two weeks my allergies have been running rampant--nose, eyes and throat. The only obvious cause I can see might be those beautiful yellow blooming bushes/trees up on the hillsides. All I can say is thank goodness for Loratadina and Kleenex. Anyone, else experiencing this. You know what they say, "misery loves company." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 And the dust and the dry air; we haven't had any rain in over two weeks, very little dew in the morning and the humidity is dropping. I was hoping this bronchial/allergy stuff would hold off until into the new year. cough, gag, snort, wheeze, hack ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what they say, "misery loves company." Same thing for me every year. We live in Brisas de Chapala and have a mountain right behind us with huge, beautiful yellow bushes/trees. My symptoms aren't bad enough to need to be medicated, though. When the jacarandas bloom, that's when I need medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Yes, worst allergies ever. Cetirizina during the day, Benadryl at night, still coughing and sneezing. What are those yellow plants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Driving both of us nuts too. Worst year I think I can remember. But still.... have to say it beats snow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dalziel Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 North of the border, I had allergies in the summer time, but they cleared up in autumn after rains arrived. Here, it's just the opposite -- my allergies really kick in during the rainy season. One of the many mysteries of living in Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonhill Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 My husband and I were afraid we'd suddenly developed an allergy to our pets. This is our 14th year here and the most allergy meds we've ever consumed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kam Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Thank you, I had guessed a broom of some sort - we had Scotch Broom in the Northwest U.S. and I am allergic to it. Although this is a new record for me for allergic reactions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
