I don't know if you are dumb, but you are lucky.

I have had dust/pollen allergies all of my life as have many others in my family. I have tried most preventive measures, including folk remedies like local, raw honey and it didn't work for me at all. And that one in particular has no proven mechanism of action and it's affect has been shown to be no more than that of a placebo: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/10/he...ally.html?_r=0

I have also tried virtually all of the commonly available medications, too, both otc and prescription. As I said above, Flonase is what works for me with no noticeable side effects. What is really nice about it is once you have been on it a while you will be ok if you miss a day, unlike every antihistimine I have tried.
