I do know my allergies are bad right now, they always are in the summer - all of those millions of acres of corn in pollination across the Midwest throw a tremendous pollen load in the air, and corn pollen gets me like now -- if I walk through the corn in my garden during pollination, I instantly sneeze, have watery eyes, and itch all over.
And yes, I lost my bottle of Singulair about 2 weeks ago. I have to dig it up - not lost lost, just somewhere in my current disorganization.
I am using OTC Clairitin in the interim - it works but not as well, I have noticed I am having a harder time breathing during exertion.

That histamine. You can block it wirh histamine blockers, clear it with C and calcium and lots of water, and reduce exposure by keeping clean.
I was always diagnosed rule out schizotypy until I began treating high histamine. Its that important of a neurotransmitter. There is a lot of info online now, a lot of it junk.
Chronically high histamine will run down your other neurotransmitters. Depression results.
^Histamine -> ^adrenaline -> intrusive ptsd symptoms
Its worth reading about.
