As spring blossoms release pollen into the atmosphere, countless individuals prepare for the annual allergy surge. But what causes some to endure symptoms while others remain unaffected? Allergies arise when the immune system erroneously perceives harmless particles like pollen as threats, prompting the release of histamines that result in well-known symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, and nasal congestion.

🤧🌿 Wer den Homo Sapiens stammesgeschichtlich den Trockennasenaffen zugeordnet hat, hatte entweder keine Probleme mit Heuschnupfen – oder hielt Taxonomie für einen guten Witz.

Whoever classified Homo sapiens as dry-nosed primates either never had hay fever – or thought taxonomy was a brilliant joke.

You know how coral reefs are synchronised and release all their eggs once a year, under the full moon?

Today the birches did the same, and all this pollen is killing me!

One of my least favorite times of year:
Did I catch COVID? Or is it all the pollen turning everything yellow?

wishing the neighbors would coordinate their staggered grass-mowing, so i could have a more concentrated allergic reaction. 🤧

otherwise, allow it grow into a bird & bee friendly wilderness… 🧚🏽🧚🏽‍♀️🧚🏽‍♂️

this 1950s ideal of lawn 'opulence' is not helpful to anyone

if you're gonna grow grass… do it right! 🌿 😶‍🌫️

It's been raining again, but unfortunately just drizzle. Not enough to truly wash away all this pollen on steroids and dust, after two weeks without a single drop of water.

Maybe the crazy baker who this morning claimed to me it was all chemtrails and climate change is being directly targeted at out country to destroy our agriculture and tourism is right... Either that or disinformation keeps getting worse.
