Find some local made honey and eat at least a tablespoon everyday. This is supposed to help your body get used to the pollen.

New to what area, Ensenada? Desert areas are low in allergens, at least in terms of pollen. In the Ensenada area the hillsides are still drying out
because of the late intermittent rains. Until completely dried out there will be allergens in the air. The damp marine air near the coast can
aggravate stuffiness. Any pets nearby or certain plants in your neighbors' yard? Things should get better as we go into summer.

I have the same issue in La Paz - look into CFE pollution (Africa is cleaner!) and industry/car pollution. Especially SO2 will make your eyes and nose
suffer. Only a WWII gas mask will provide relief. Or move to where Baja is still clean.

If you have allergies while living by the ocean, just shoot yourself.

I lived "by the ocean" in San Diego/Coronado for 30 years-------------was always stuffed-up in the nose. Moved to the high-desert (Utah) and most
all stuffyness went away, and I continue to experience the same to this day. Dr. says I am nuts, and it should be just the opposite, but I know how I
feel, better than he does. High Humidity drives me up the wall, and I have a very hard time breathing, but in the desert I am fine. Go figure.

thx everybody! I am in el sauzal. I lived 50' from the sea of cortez in Sonora and the mold in the sand is bad. everytime the wind blows it stirs up
the underlying fungus. but never had issues. I am surrounded by a variety of trees here. no trees on the beach or desert...I am assuming that's the
culprit. thank god for afrin! will try the honey. have heard good things.
