While I used to have horrible allergic flareups in spring and fall every year lasting for a few weeks, since on this regimen I've suffered less than 10 hours per year on average. I'll have to admit this year was a bear though, the allergies came on while I had the flu, for a perfect storm of misery.

I start off the spring pollen season with an afternoon mowing of the lawn. This clogs up my sinuses, ensures quite a few sneezes & itchy eyes for the rest of the waking hours of that day. After that I rarely notice any allergic reaction until fall rolls around and I enjoy a day out around a lot of plants to prime my system again.
