Strange Allergy & Hay Fever Cure - SEX!
For a certain part of the population, Spring with its burst of leaves, grass and pollen, can signal the onset of misery from pollen related allergies. How are people supposed to cope? Some individuals may benefit from allergy shots. These are distilled for each patient, based on what triggers have shown a positive reaction during testing. The premise of inoculating a person with diluted blends of substances is to build up a gradual immunity and it does work, but of course, there is no immediate relief of the symptoms. For that, most allergy sufferers resort to over the counter medications, or prescriptions that contain antihistamines. You need the "anti" part, because your body's immune system is producing histamines in response to the allergic reaction caused by triggers like pollen. Scotland has one of the highest rates of allergy sufferers in the world, with approximately one-quarter of the population suffering stuffed noses and running eyes on a seasonal basis. Experts believe that the number of people with allergies has doubled over the last ten years. And while a new vaccine has been developed in Switzerland that will effectively prevent any allergic reactions for eight months as opposed to treating the symptoms, it is not yet approved for sale. So once more, we suffer in silence, or amidst explosive sneezes, using anything that comes to hand that offers relief, including keeping doors and windows closed, changing clothes when coming in from outdoors, and putting Vaseline inside the nostrils to ease irritation and trap pollen as it's inhaled. Of course, you could always just have sex. Long touted as a cure for headaches and hay fevers, making love is reported to produce an antihistamine along with adrenalin. But nobody seems to be able to point to the study, and those who participated aren't talking. |
