I hate Pollen!

Everything around here is yellow, and not just a light dusting. It is really heavy, it feels like you can't even breathe. I washed the car today and it was covered in pollen in less than 5 mins. Thank god for the california duster.

The Zyrtec works better than the Claritan for some people (it did for me, and its once-a-day). And don't forget the Nasonex nasal spray. (See doctor and ask about these, highly recommened!)

There was so much pollen on the car the last few weeks (around Cal) that I picked up one more Cali. Car Duster.

Anyone ever noticed how the rear bumper/rear side (from the rear wheel back) looks like it is plated with pollen and road dust?

think it just might be the black - haven't washed the car in a while. might have to drive around the corner and check out JZ's black.

i'm hooked on claritin-d 24. once a day. works most of the time except in these most extreme pollen days.

All kidding aside, if any of you guys are suffering too badly, this is one of the WORST allergy seasons on record! See your doctor (or Allergist) and get some samples of (one of the following antihistamines [that don't put you to sleep]):

1. Allegra
2. Claritin
3. Zyrtec

Depending of weather it is a "D" type of formula, you can also try some Sudafed or other product for relieving congestion (always consult your doctor)...

Finally, ask your Doctor about one of the "Nasal" sprays, like Flonase or Nasonex, if your really suffering with headaches and can't sleep or breath, it is time to see the Doctor or good Allergist.

I have to use the spray with the Zyrtec to keep from sounding like a I have plugs in my nose, so get some help.

Finally, when you aren't sleeping in your cars with the filter going, you can always get a "HEPA" filter. Honeywell and others make them -- you can put one in your bedroom when you aren't hiding in your car.

I hate it when the car gets dirty but love how it looks like after i have washed it. The shittiness of the car before the wash accentuates the beauty of the car after the cleaning Small concellation for the damage all the dirt does the car but I need to find something good

You can use Afrin (or whatever), but you need to see a Doctor or Allergist for a prescription of Flonase (not that great for me) or Nasonex Nasal spray (works great, but need to see the Doc).

BTW -- Too much of Afrin or Dristan, will kill your nose -- please see doc...
