Pollens. Bah. Humbug. They need to back off

I am one of the many suffering from the longer grass pollen season. But I know I'm not the only one.

It seems like every second person is suffering.

A family member had somebody ask if she was OK because her eyes were so red. Another friend said they had spent a day weeping.

Others not usually susceptible to the hay fever season have been puzzled at the lethargy and cold-like symptoms they have found themselves battling.

COVID? No. Hayfever. Yes.

An antihistamine later and all was, if not right with the world, at least less sneezy and itchy.

The thunderstorms that rolled through Victoria recently brought an added layer of misery for many.

Epidemic thunderstorm asthma.

Hundreds across the state that found themselves in trouble as pollens combined with weather.

It been a mixed bag this week, but still the grass pollen levels are sitting mostly in the high to extreme range.

So I may be out in shorts this weekend, but I'll also be masked up to keep the nasties at bay.
