I have to agree with the multi supplements. I tend to be allergic to everything. I had to quit some allergy meds and now have a nasty rash on my hands and don't know (I quit the Quercetin) what I've been taking that has changed. Puzzling to say the least. With the inflation I've had to buy some cheaper soap brands and that might be the problem. It's just a matter of elimination. But still a pain! So if one has allergies, yes, do be careful about adding too much at one time.
I have terrible allergies and extremely sensitive skin. I’m not a doctor or trained in nature medicine, I read a lot & have experimented with many natural products until I find what works for me.
Consider natural homemade soaps. Etsy is a good resource to begin with. Of course it’s trial & error until you find the right product for yourself. After a few years I’ve found a small company that works for me. I don’t like paying $14.00 per bar but I don’t break out & my skin isn’t like a crocodile’s skin.
I recently ordered for the second time, I commented on my order samples would be nice. I got four tiny samples, big enough to know if I like the scent.
I haven’t used over the counter soap since 2014. Also most everything mass produced has toxins. A lot of products were just pulled recently, cause cancer. Not news to people that research. The companies were forced to admit it.
There’s many natural solutions to allergies. I haven’t been on RX allergy medicine in two years. I was on something my entire adult life.
I recently read Vitamin C helps your body with allergies. It helps control histamine. I’ll try to find the article.
I just ordered this:
https://solaray.com/products/mega-quercetin
You said your rash might be from quercetin. Look at the additional ingredients.
Look at the ingredients, hesperiden is from citrus peels. This is supposed to be the higher vitamin c than eating the fruit. It also helps allergies. The other ingredients listed help it to work. I’m sharing because you said you allergies. Of course do your research.
We can get many vitamins from herbs. Nettle herb has multiple vitamins. Hibiscus is very high in vitamin C. I drink hibiscus tea at least three times a week if not more. If you like kool aid flavor you will like hibiscus. I use honey in tea & that’s good for your immune system.
Good luck, I know how frustrating this can be.
thank you so much for the info. I will up the vit c and check on the quercetin again. I did restart taking the zyrtec because it won't harm my heart and I feel so much better today. Those sinus headaches are killer sometimes. And of course, I live in a VERY high pollen count area. Didn't know wheat was a grass!
Happy to help. Research in your area the air quality or seasonal allergies. I’m might be wrong, I read a lot & don’t have a source, I believe the yellow pollen we see isn’t what causes most people’s allergies. It’s usually the new weeds, leaves & flowers budding. I got tested a long time ago & got allergy shots at different times during my life. I don’t recommend shots, I never saw improvement. I’m allergic to oak trees & I live in the south surrounded by Oaks. They say I’m also allergic to Ragweed, dogs, cats & dust mites. I had cats most my life & a dog in the past twenty years. I’ve lived years with out dog or cat & theirs not any difference.
Elderberry syrup helps a lot! You can also take an elderly supplement, double check where it’s made, etc.
I buy from Norms Farm & they have a sale right now. If you are interested you can make your own. I don’t but I think it’s easy.
The following link is my favorite essential oil company. They have a headache essential oil roll on. It helps me a lot. It’s out of stock. They have excellent customer service. You can email them for alternative blend.
I also use a roll on for stuffy nose. Mostly at night, I keep it beside my bed. If you haven’t used essential oils please read about safety. Many oils you can’t use if you are pregnant, nursing. It’s not safe for babies. Many are toxic to cats & dogs. They can be as helpful as herbs or medicine. This company has a big sale in July & after thanksgiving. Each is a month sale.
The weather affects me so much. I thinks it’s the barometric pressure. I’ll have an awful headache for days & as soon as a storm comes my headache is gone.
This is a good tea company. I also buy from a shop in Asheville NC, online. I use loose & bags.
Look at the immune teas, they help me when I’m stuffy or sick. Also their Lime tea will clear me up very quickly.
You can also heat water add lemon, ginger & honey. Don’t drink to much it will detox & you will be in the bathroom.

Vinegar with the mother, I use Bragg. Many recipes online. Vinegar, lemon & water. Ginger is optional. That’s more of daily medicine for multiple things. I buy ginger, lemon & honey shots already made at grocery store. Made by a company. It has ginger syrup. You can make it, I just don’t.
If you have any questions I don’t mind. DM or here.
