The reason some people think it will work is they believe that the honey contains the pollens from your area. This is true. What they don't understand that for the most part, bees do NOT visit the plants that cause the most allergies. The allergy inducing pollens come from plants that use the wind to spread their love. These pollens are white and extremely small and white. The plants that bees visit have a heavy yellow waxy pollen, this is why the bee is there in the first place! Any of the pollen from grasses and trees that might be in the honey is just because the bee took a rest. It doesn't hurt to try, honey tastes good on toast and is yummy in a cup of tea, but don't get your hopes up for a cure. Allergies are chronic and can be controlled but not cured. The things that will work to control seasonal allergy is to stay inside, keep doors and windows closed, run a HEPA air cleaner. If you must go outside when pollen counts are high, as soon as you come in take a shower, wash your hair, and change your clothes. Keep pets inside too...because they bring pollen in on their fur.

A guy I knew who was allergic to seafood would vomit every time he got done eating it, so in your case, it could be.(sorry gross.) But are you sure it isn't just a coincidence and you're getting your period soon or something? Sounds odd, but it’s possible…I would just get tested at your doctor to find out for sure.

Insurance usually will cover the allergy testing, but most insurance companies will not cover the allergy treatment. If the thing you are allergic to is something you can avoid, then testing will help you a lot. Allergy treatment can cost $5000 or more and insurance may not pay one penny of it.

If you do, it's probably covered. Back to what they do. They don't hurt. They lightly scratch different allergens on your arm and wait to see if it causes a little, red bump (a positive reaction). Remember, it doesn't really hurt, but, it takes a little time. Do you have health insurance? If you do, it’s probably covered.

Beconase AQ or Nasonex work well. However, they can take up to five days to start working. After that, it works great. You need a prescription for a steroidal nasal spray.

If the sneezing is a sneezing fit or attack, the breaking out is severe you should probably go like now. Maybe Benedril? Ask your doctor first he/she would probably know what would be perfect.
