A good friend of mine, she has bad hay fever. She is always sneezing and has very sore eyes. Always blowing her nose. If you didn’t know her, you would think she had the flu. In Covid time, you would swear she had Covid, she didn’t!

She went to Pakistan for one month.

I met her again, soon after she got back, she told me, “Not once in Pakistan, did I have hay fever.”

We were both amazed. Those two countries, so different, could have such an opposite response to her.

It certainly gave us food for thought.

I really feel for your friend. Have been suffering really bad hay fever this summer, it's no fun because every time I go out it flares up, and even with the windows open, somehow the pollen gets in and leaves me feeling terrible. I'll certainly be glad when October comes and I can return to normal living.

Hope your friend doesn't have to wait that long and feels better soon.

Jenny.

You can always learn something new every day. I did not know hay fever suffers still suffer indoors with the windows and doors shut. You would think in this day and age there would be Something Strong that you can take that would work and keep it away. I have never had it nor anyone in my family. One of my dearest friend growing up, she Suffered, her eyes they were Red, they were itching SO much it was awful. I know there are things that hay fever suffers can take but for those who have it bad like yourself and my friend it doesn't seem to work. Roll on October! x

Thank you for your Valued Comments.

That's quite interesting. I suppose here in the UK, the weather is so changeable that sometimes the conditions create a perfect storn of sychronised pollination, all the grass going to seed at once for example. I've never been to Pakistan but I know they grow some beautiful poppies. It's often the water that upsets my skin when I go abroad.

I had assumed that pollen was all over the world. I couldn't think of one country effecting her in such different ways. To have nothing in Pakistan and everything back in the UK is remarkable. But as you mentioned it is to do with the weather changing SO much here.

I can relate to the Water too.

Thank you for your Valued Comments it means a lot.

Two? Two countries what? I expected something a bit more philosophical like, Why is one plus one two? Or mastering the basic 2 plus 2 method. That is all table you really need, the two times table.

Cheers! Tom
