A couple of years ago I went to see an allergist, who delighted in sticking needles in my arms and injecting things just under the skin. When he was done, he told me I was allergic to dairy, and grass. I’d had terrible hayfever for a few years previous, and he gave me a little bottle of “sublingual” (under the tongue) drops of pollen protein to desensitize me to grass. It worked fantastically, but I went overseas and didn’t finish the course.

It’s Spring here, and my hayfever was back with a vengeance. I suffered through Spring in England just a few months ago, and was taking multiple 24-hour antihistamines with little effect, so wasn’t looking forward to another one. Here’s my novel solution: grass tea. Just pluck some grass from the offending nearby park, wash, then add hot water. I’ve been drinking it every morning and night for the last few days, and it seems to have already started working! Harrah!
