This week, it's been windy on top of the high pollen count, and after riding Mon/Tues, I only have mild symptoms today, even without all of the meds I took last Friday. I'm sold on the mask.
My glasses fogged up at stoplights a bit, and I had to adjust the mask some during the ride, but it's a small price to pay for being functional and forgoing all of those meds.
Apologies for digging this out from last year, but allergy is here for me.
PNZ is having some nice dry days and my eyes are all itchy. Flonase is the one I normally use and has some relief but is kind of bad right now as I type this.
Also do my NeilMed nasal wash that helps at night.
Interested on your mask - which kind of mask do you use for commute, I want to try too because if I am bad with few days of sun, this will be very bad going forward .....
