Hayfever - Apple Cider Vinegar

Yes my fellow hayfeverers. The time has come for handkerchiefs and Vaseline, snuffling and sneezing. The time has come for puffy eyes and runny noses. The time has come for hiding from the sun and being miserable. Summer is upon us. Whoopee! Yes we wish we could enjoy it like normal mortals, but we are super mortals and hide behind our disguises.

There is some relief to be found and some do find it. I have a little tip to ease those itching eyes, but it is only temporary, but a relief still. Dab a little Apple Cider Vinegar onto a folded tissue and wipe around closed eyes. It is most cooling and I believe the acid effect helps to reduce mucus for a little while. It can sting a little if you have already allowed yourself the pleasure of a good rub and made the surrounding skin raw, but hey, that's life.
