How do you know the difference? I keep taking anti histamine nasal spray and cold medicine as I dont know which is causing me to sneeze all day.
put on pure oxygen mask, if you are still sneezing is a cold.
or
if you only sneeze around something, perhaps flowers it is hay fever. I f you sneeze regardless, it's a cold.

I quite like the idea of trying that. Is it easily available?

Try asking a nurse, or deep sea diver.
No, not easer to get!
My sister tested an anti hayfever device some years ago.
It basically consisted of a helmet that looked like a golfish bowl and had filters on it. You had to wear it for a certain amount of time each day (can`t for the life of me remember how long !!) and it filtered out all the stuff that caused the hay fever.
It worked a treat biggrin but in the end I think it was just too much of a pain wandering around half the day with a goldfish bowl on ya head !! lol
************************************************
Just imagine though if it really is a cold and this was tried......you would be going around with a snotty green goldfish bowl on your head eeewwwwww
Does anyone remember Neal from "The Young Ones" sneezing inside that black bin liner and the state of him when they took it off :shock: rotflmao
OMG I remember that episode with neil sneezin in the black bag yeuw!!! Seemed really funny back then . :shock:
Being a hayfever sufferer (which is a nightmare right now).. the difference is you would probably see a slight improvement after taking an anti-hist. I take one every night at this time of year as I get hayfever really bad. When I've got a cold I get aches and shivers but don't with hayfever.
kiss to all fellow sufferers, headaches, sore eyes, blocked nose, sneezing, hives.... yep don't we look sexy in the summer! cool
u need to lick pussy it will go within hours
oh by the way i am free tonight
Hol u had ur chance last night when i was reclined on the sunlounger and u missed it lmao
My lad gets hayfever terribly and as we spend a lot of the summer months in the country side with out hobby he really suffers..
He takes anti-histermines but they do little to help him....
His eyes close right up and he can barely breath through his nose poor little mite....

A bit of an obvious answer but have you tried having a word with your GP? It could be that its neither and you may have nasal pollips. The symptoms are very much like hayfever because pollen can irritate them. A small operation will sort them out, until they grow back sad

I've got hayfever too and I agree, its soo not sexy!!!
I got a free sample from Boots the other day that is a cream you put on your nose to stop the pollen from getting up there and making you sneeze. Its 100% natural so no nasty drugs and it seems to be ok so far... cant think what its called just now tho....
dunno

I had bad hayfever till I was about 27, it vanished after I moved to a smog free area. Whenever I spend a few days in any big city it starts to come back

oooh thank you - I may pop along and check that out x
I used to have really bad hayfever - the main difference between that and a cold was (apart from it lasted 6 weeks) the fact that I desperately wanted to take my face off and hose out the inside with clean water.
Also, with a cold, when you blow your nose you feel better for a while. With hayfever it only feels better until you breathe in again.
I got 'hayfever' into autumn and winter and couldn;t understand why, especially as it was worse in the morning. Someone suggested it was dust in the bed and I hoovered both sides of the mattress and the base. The hoover (Dyson) ended up with 4" deep of ultrafine dust in it. DISGUSTING. But the hayfever disappeared in a day.
There are a few hayfever treatments - not all work for everyone. So I would try a few to find one that does the trick.
the mattress gunk is actually dead skin which rubs off on the allergy was probably a dust mite allergy if it stopped after little buggers graze on the skin,and i think it`s actually the larval stage that we inhale and get a reaction fever is purely an allergic reaction to plant else.

Very true, but I can't spell rinitis/rhinitas/rinitus whatever the bloody thing is called.
You get hay fever when you’ve had barn sex and if its cold you have to put a coat on
I’ll get my coat bolt
A few more tips for hayfever relief...
Avoid being out first thing, and late afternoon/early evening. This is when the pollens are rising/falling.
Avoid having your clothes hanging outside at these times too.
If you've been outside at these heavy pollen times, wash your hair when you come in.
Try wearing wraparound shades.
The honey is a good tip- the more local the better. It should lessen your allergic reaction to the local pollens.
Move to The Sahara/ Arctic Tundra.
