Tree pollen count for 03/25/14:
Very High
Most active tree pollen types:
Cottonwood
Willow
Don't I know it. We are both irritated, dopey, bothered. Winds pushing ahead of a wet front, bringing more pollen down upon our swollen heads. Bless the neti pot. One of you recommended this, but I can't remember who suggested it. Great help to me, relieves a lot of pressure, and I believe it has prevented a number of migraines.
And I occasionally take home a mis-opened, or slightly expired bottle of NS, normal saline, that is no longer usable as irrigation on a sterile field in surgery, but still perfectly adequate for using up my nose. (Through my nose, really.) It's not a good idea to just use tap water with salt. Hard to get the solution right, as well.
So, whomever told me about this, years and years ago, if you still stop by now and then, thanks again.

ah, the miracle of the neti pot! love it!
the only pollen we have flying today is snow - not so much hard on the sinuses as the soul - please, can it be over soon? not that i have *that* much time to worry about the weather - it's crunch time!
btw, i'll be spending some hiking time in the utah area in may (talked my dad out of nepal!)
pc,
Oh, cool, there is a lot of fabulous hiking here.
No pollen here, still too cold.
No neti pot here either, though undoubtedly it would be put to good use.
