Eating local honey is the best thing for allergies. I never believed it until I moved out west to a totally different environment. I never had allergies before until I moved out here. Oh they were horrible. I could go through a box of tissues in one day. Anyways I read an article about how eating local honey could boost your immunity to the area plants and gave it a shot. It worked. Took a few weeks, but OMG it was a downright miracle.
