I'm curious how many other folks out there deal with allergies. I actually had to take a hiatus from outdoor activities in my late teenage years, because my allergies became so bad that no meds could come close to helping, and my eyes would get so swollen that I literally couldn't see. Luckily, as I have aged, they have calmed down a bit, and better medications have come on the market, that make them reasonably manageable.
Still, there are weekends where a certain plant is in bloom or something, and no amount of meds will do me any good, and I've ended up canceling a few planned outings because my allergies were just plain nasty.
On top of that, I always have to carry an epi-pen with me, because of a severe allergy to hornet stings.
How many of you deal with allergies, and how much does it affect your time in the woods?
