I have heard about the honey thing too. I'm not sure if it works or not. aI'll have to read more. I do use HEPA furnace filters and various things like anti-allergen pillow and mattress covers.

I've always had seasonal allergies but it was not a big deal until I had whooping cough 5 years ago which damaged my lungs so that now I have asthma which is not good with the bipolar. And then while I was so sick from the whooping cough I was working in an office with a serious black mold problem and that was making me more sick. And I wasn't in the office I was in people's homes or in a highly polluted air area and I developed chemical sensitivities. Usually I handle that pretty well with practice but when the seasonal allergies come it all snowballs and suddenly my asthma reacts to much more.

I have a cat with asthma too so he and I wheeze our way through spring and fall together .
