minus-squareValmond@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·17 hours agoIs it a de-sensibilisation thing? Did that 7+6 years for dustmites + hayfever, worked well but clearly was hell to go through (did the daily dose thing). Now I just figured out I’m allergic to some nut too 😭
minus-squareschipelblorp@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·15 hours agoYes, that’s how it works. My dad swears by having a little dose of LOCAL honey, which gives him regular exposure to pollens.

minus-squareschipelblorp@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 hours ago bee I see what you did there. Regular exposure. Same way allergy shots work. Seasonal allergies exist because they’re seasonal. If they were present year-round, immunity would be much more common. Expose yourself to pollen in bee honey daily, your body won’t freak out as much when it’s finally that time of year.
