Ragweed? I just started with allergies in the last couple years, not bad, just watering eyes. I take an allergy pill daily and it stops the water works

No, no no. Not ragweed. Goldenrod!
I hear honey is good for allergies. Local honey, that is.

Oh are they two different things? It never bothered me before, I pass this field on my way to work everyday that is part of a wildlife protected area. It is full of Goldenrod and some sort of pink flowers, I was just thinking how nice it would be to take a girls senior picture in there but wondered if they were allergic how bad that would make them sneeze!!

Heard about the honey trick. It's supposed to be harvested within a certain distance to your home in order to work.

Careful about frisking through the goldenrod or field grasses. That's how I got Lyme disease two years ago. I imagine you have LD there in CT.

Oh ya that dreaded Lyme disease. Sorry you got that, my mom did too. Seems a lot of folks are getting it. Thanks for the reminder! My friend told me, Lyme came from ticks that they were studying on Plum Island and some got loose, went to Lyme CT
