If your voice is scratchy and your eyes are itchy – it could be fall allergies...
You might even wind up with a sore throat and an itchy or runny nose. Blame it on ragweed. It’s in the air from coast to coast and 75% of us are allergic to it. Over-the-counter antihistamines provide some relief for most people – but there are some foods to avoid eating too. Cantaloupe, banana, chamomile tea, sunflower seeds and honey can actually make matters worse for people allergic to ragweed.
If you’d like to get away from the ragweed all together – good luck with that. Your best bet is to head out to sea – way, way out. Ragweed pollen has been measured as far out as 400 miles from land.
