I’m in San Antonio for the holiday season visiting my parents. This evening the wind is blowing so hard from the north that my mother had me take her Christmas wreathes down from the front doors lest they be blown away. For those of you not experienced in the ways of the Central/ South Texas winter, rest assured, there is plenty of cedar pollen riding in on that wind.
Give me your sneezing, your feverish glows,
Your huddled coughers yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your snotty nose.
Send these, those suffering cedar fever to me,
I lift my green bottle to your woes!
What can I say? I am a bad poet with dreams, and possibly a budding satirist. But I am also a trained traditional Chinese herbalist, and I am much better at that. If you’ve missed my other reminders on this topic, or riding down the river denial, mountain cedar fever season is fast approaching. If you have suffered in years past, it’s likely that you will again this year. Don’t delay- make a plan for acquiring your Easy Breather today.
It hardly constitutes scientific data, but my father swears to me that his sneezing fit this morning heralds the beginning of mountain cedar fever season in central- south Texas. I suggested he try taking some Easy Breather drops.
Juniper pollen has shown up on the allergen reports in the Austin area. Juniper is like a cousin to cedar pollen (a better mannered, well behaved cousin that has the decency to wipe his muddy boots on the door mat before walking across your freshly washed floor). But people who are allergic to juniper pollen are also usually allergic to mountain cedar pollen. It’s a good time to start taking Easy Breather if you’re allergic.
