Pine pollen?

[MSTRS:Me]

Hayfever...wonderful condition. Not.
However, not everyone who suffers is reacting to pine pollen. But it is a biggie, and the yellow dust everywhere is a pain.

Aaaahhhh, Hawkes Bay at this time of the year is covered in that nasty yellow tree sperm! Everything is coated.
It makes my nose drip and my eyes itchy...horrible stuff! been around for weeks now.

In the Hawke's Bay's case, wattles and gorse are probably contributing too.

Nature's attempt at covering all the bases?
Starts around the end of June, most years. Seems to be easing off now.

That's what I heard from an allergy specialist. Apparently a lot of people blame the pine pollen because it's the most visible, but there are lots of other things flowering at the same time that are less obvious but more likely to set off hayfever.

The allergy guy said that pine pollen granules are quite big (which is what makes them visible) but it's the smaller pollens that can get deeper into your body that are often the worst for hayfever.

The same goes for privet. A lot of people who think they are reacting to privet are often reacting to grasses that are flowering at the same time.

But the pine is still the one that makes my beautiful black bike a kind of dusty yellow every day.

Was dowm at the Waingaro Pub a couple weekends ago, came outside to find the scooter a nice shade of pine yellow/green. Plenty around alright. Rye grass is a big cause of hayfever, most people tend to blame privet.

Not much gorse in HB, its too dry for it...but loads of fruit trees all in blossom.
Its set to get worse tho for hayfever sufferers...wait till the equinox winds start blowing....

Slowly seeing more and more pollen on my bike, IN THE GARAGE, for the past month.

Fuck I am not looking forward to swollen eyes and a nose on fire.
