A lady I work with has had a ferocious sinus infection and cough for 6 weeks. Lots of other co-workers and family members complaining of not feeling well for weeks on end. I also know of two individuals have gotten shingles which is unusual. Of course, I'd like to ask them if they had the jabs (which I believe they have), but I'm not bringing that up....many get defensive. Something has changed, especially with the Summer period being here where this sort of thing is not very common.

She's allergic to that, I'm sure! She can't have seaweed from sushi or anything.
Ooooff, well ignore that advice. I took allergy shots years ago because my allergies were so bad after moving to Florida. It was the best thing I could have done. I rarely take any medicine now despite having multiple bad pollen periods throughout the year and mold and mildew galore here in the land of humidity.
My mom is the type who likes to treat something a little instead of taking care of it and being over it.
Ugh, we’re buying a little place there. I’m hearing lots of stories about bad allergies there.
I was allergic to everything - pollens, grasses, molds, mildew. And I had the worst reaction to a ragweed skin test the allergist staff had ever seen. You know it’s bad when they summon everyone to come see your reaction!
I stumbled onto a site on Instagram that had a lot of good info on allergies. Copper deficiency can contribute to allergies as well as not being able to carry iron well in your blood. I gave up donating blood years ago because I couldn’t pass the hemoglobin test, so I am sure I have a copper deficiency. Working to fix that now!
What are you doing for the copper deficiency? My allergies have been worse than usual this year and several people in my family also.
Look into MCAS and histamine reactions
That is very interesting! I'll pass that on to her. Thank you!
Thanks!!
