Cedar allergies tend to hit me hard this time of year, symptoms always include achiness, fatigue, itchy watering eyes, etc. But last week I also developed a pretty serious cough and a subsequent sore throat, which are very unusual for my seasonal allergies. Knowing I had several family gatherings coming up including hanging out with both my own 80-year-old parents, and my 80=year-old inlaws, after several days of those symptoms I decided to go ahead and test myself with a home test we had leftover from testing my daughter a couple of months back.
Luckily it came back negative. I'm not special, just another year of cruddy allergies.
