Cottonwoods are really crummy trees. I don't know why people
even plant them. They drive allergy sufferers crazy, they drop
fuzzy seed all over the cars. They don't live all that long, and
blow over easily. At least you'd think people would plant the
cottonless variety!

I don't know those trees. The one that I have plenty of, and which
makes a mess in the spring is oaks. They shed those long seed pod
gold-colored fuzzy thingies, and I get literally mounds of them in
the driveway, and then the pollen gets drug in the house, they leave
my truck yellow and the windshield gets caked with them. Man, my eyes
are watering already just thinking about them.

Purrs for your allergies, Pam. I use Claritin D, but with the recent
limitations to how much you can buy at a time, sometimes I run out
before I can get to the store for more.

Just to let you know: if you can get by with just the antihistamine,
without requiring the decongestant, it is available over-the-counter
without the quantity restrictions. I use the generic equivalent,
Loratidine, on a daily basis, having bought a pack of two 100-tablet
bottles at my local "Sam's Club" warehouse store. I am under doctor's
orders not to use any decongestants, since I am on
blood-pressure-lowering medications and most decongestants raise your
blood pressure.

Welcome to cottonwood season. I'm very allergic to cottonwooe trees, and
this year, for whatever reason they are seriously affecting my eyesight.
I even enlarged my type to 24 font and it was still blurry. So if I make
typing, spelling and other errors, please forgive me, or bear with me for
the next couple of weeks or so.
