Allergies

[cecil39]

could I have become allergic to shops? I have started to have sore watery eyes and a running nose soon after entering a shop, department stores, supermarkets, even farm shops and charity shops whatever, its happening all the time, I never used to be allergic to anything, the symptoms last till about 3hrs after I get home.

I long for the day my darling wife utters those words!

Sorry Cecil, that sounds really strange, air con perhaps?

Not sure what is going on here cecil.....but i will repeat...it is nothing to do with the shops, but more likely what was in them.

[mastercraft]

Squad, out of interest, what do you suggest could be present in all the said shops?

[mastercraft]

Sorry....Sqad.

[mastercraft]

Genuine question... Sqad.?

[Sqad]

mastercraft....dunno...could be dust....fur, feathers, perfume and even animal droppings I suppose.

cecil....if it is that bad you could take Loratadine 10mgms before you went shopping.

[mastercraft]

Sqad, what is the common ingredient?
Fur, feathers and animal droppings on a farm...yes. But in a supermarket?

Could it be the florescent lights?Too bright? I started having watering eyes and nose when I went outside and it would stop once I was inside again. Dark glasses were very effective and putting vaseline on my eyelashes.
